Some finds from the Uvalde Hunt

Old River · Oct 25, 2010

We went to several different sites in Uvalde, and in Campwood. Had a great time, and found a few good relics. I picked up some nice fossels in the Uvalde area. Most of my finds were from the Five Oaks area in Campwood Tx. Meet some great folks, and had a great time. The Coffin handle was left at the site with the caretaker.

I soooo hate that I missed my opportunity to meet you! Hopefully next time around. :icon_thumright:

That handle is.....unusual. And I'm sure you were happy to give it back. :wink:

Congrats on your finds!

Dont you know not to dig down that far
and recover something like that coffin
handle !!
Guess it couldve been a fingerbone with
a nice gold ring on it.

Nana I was looking forward to meeting you. Wish you could have been there.

Allen the Coffin Handle was only 6 inches deep. I wouldn't dare dig down that deep even if there were Gold coins in a grave. Really it supprised me to find it. That I would never do is dig to retrieve something from the dead. It's out of the question...

Looks like a 'Great Time' was had in Tx. :thumbsup:

An old timer gave me a handle off of (Pretty Boy Floyd's) casket supposedly, it seems the souvenir hunters will do most anything to get something from the celebrities, (I didn't keep it long). :icon_scratch:

Fossis.............

Yes I know you was just being funny Allen, and I appreciate the comment. It was just a shock to me to find something like that knowing there were two graves close by. Happy hunting, and hope you make some good finds.
