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 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.

Sentinel? Sentinel? Hmmmmmmmmmmm.............. I used to know a guy on TN that went by that name, but he went missing.
Hey Josh,
Some nice CW relics there buddy. Way to get little bro hooked.
Congrats,
MM

Ha Ha Whats been going on my long lost friend?? Yeah, I have been shipwrecked on a desert island for the past 6 months . Yeah, it was a nice hunt but I caught H#LL with the ticks. Never picked that many off of me and my clothes in my entire life: 30!~

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?
Take care buddy,
Doug

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.

did you go to the DR's? that looks like a case of Lyme disease.. If not go to the ER..Right now don't wait!!

Yes good news, she said that it may be Lyme Disease but that she didn't think so because it didn't have the "clear" ring around the "red" ring. However, she gave me the antibiotic Doxycycline which is prescribed to treat lyme just in case! I have to take it for two weeks and she said I would be as good as new even if it was lyme. It is just a precautionary measure...

Glad to hear that!! If it wasn't Lyme it definitely was some type of infection with the red spots an lines!!

Sentinel- not sure about the 17 on the button, but I think I see what appears to be a rabid chiwawa on there



Lots of nice finds!

Re: Relics from yesterday's hunt UPDATED PICS

Great finds Josh! I oughta walk over and see you sometime, just been keeping busy for the most part!! Hope your bite's healing up, I had a scare that I thought was LD a week or two ago too, but it just turned out to be one NASTY chigger bite.

To keep ticks off, get some Sawyer's Tick Spray from Bass Pro. If used properly, I Guarantee you will have almost no ticks. 99% of the time, when I use it like it says, I have no ticks on me, and the ones i do find are dead on the fabric, which means its working. I double it with Deep woods off, and that gets the chiggers and mosqitos too.

Even when I don't use it right, on average I get 1-4 ticks, no more.
