Relics from yesterday's hunt UPDATED PICS

Heres a so so pic of the relics that I found yesterday.....NOt pictured is the 10 pound parrot base that I found that is presently 'cookin'. I took my 23 year old little brother out hunting for his first time and he had a blast! The button in the middle is a Mass Volunteer Militia 3 piece and the one above it has a "17" on it and is much older, colonial I would think. I'll take some better pics later when I get home. Hope ya'll like :icon_thumright:

Also, some other nice iron, a bullet mold, and a nice knife with a brass plate....

Updated pics as per your request. Notice the button-ish relic with a pin type back. IT definitely has the number "17" on it but I cannot make anything else out as of yet. The pics do not do it justice as in person you can make out the 17 fairly easily.

You are braver than I Josh. I haven't been out much due to those darn ticks & the heat.
Were Marianne and Ginger on that island you were shipwrecked on? :thumbsup:

Take care buddy,

Re: Relics from yesterday's hunt

Sentinel, Way to go, guy. Those are some great finds.
Where in SE Virginia are you located? I was stationed in VA in the 80's....Ft. Lee. Lived in Hopewell, but did the THing
thing in Petersburg, and on Ft. Lee. Great finds were made there, and sounds like youall are still making them.
You mentioned ticks.....Get that repellant stuff. Works like a charm. Have loads of ticks off the deer here in S. Korea. If
I don't use it, then I am covered with them.....pulled 8 off of one leg last year.
But, If I use the stuff, then zero/nada/none on me. It may keep you from a very serious disease......fortunately for me,
S. Korean ticks don't have that disease.
Keep on hunting and finding.....wish I was there, and could do a hunt with you. :thumbsup:

Hey, Brutha, it is nice to see you with the passion! Yikes, 30 ticks? That is definitely digging in dangerous areas. I hope you checked yourself over very well!

The relics are killer! I want to see a close-up of the "17" button.

Keep the passion high!

Doug, I swear i've been lucky to not have gotten Lyme disease as the ticks are just a fact of life when detecting....however I think my luck has finally run out....Take a look..... Yes all, it looks like I got the kiss of death from the damn deer tick......My grandfather got it and my hunting buddy got it last summer and they put you on a two week regiment of antibiotics that knocks it out. It is 95 percent effective if you get treatment within 2 weeks.

Re: Relics from yesterday's hunt UPDATED PICS

Wow Josh!!!
That sucks on the tick bite. I'm glad you caught it asap. Get better big guy.
I appreciate you sharing that photo, so we all know what to look for now. I can see that large red ring around the bite. Ouch.
Take care,
Doug
