A young friend of Dman and myself (TennJosh), asked me to post this for him. If you recall, we hunt with him from time to time and take him hunting. He discovered a virgin U.S. Cavalry site early this past week with his F75 and braved the almost 100 degree Tennessee heat and hunted a few hours most mornings to recover this fine box of relics.
We talked to him each day as he dug the relics. On the third day, all three of us concluded the site was a U.S. Cavalry Camp used in late 1863. The Sharps and Gallagher Carbine bullets that he recovered confirmed this. He did recover one Enfield bullet. His first find from that site was the carved bullet in the 2nd pic shaped like a two bladed pioneer axe head. That's a DANDY recovery. He did dig one GS Eagle Button. We are very proud of him and he has invited us to hunt there with him next week. Congrats Josh. You have showed us how it's done. Leave a few relics for Dman and myself, Quindy.
