Tenn. C.S.A. & U.S. Camp Hunts

[VOL1266-X]

We have been taking advantage of the good Tennessee weather to hunt a few relics. The first pic of relics on the white background is of my hunt at a hard hunted Gen. John Hunt Morgan C.S.A. Cavalry camp. This site is special as I had 2 ancestors who camped there. The Tenn. Trio Feb. 22 (2.5 hour hunt) finds at the newly discovered U.S. picket camp are shown on the orange “Relic Rag” (courtesy of Modern Miner). Still a few relics at that site as Josh dug a coat size eagle button, Dman dug 2 more bullets, & I dug another dropped .54 bullet while we were all on the way back to the trucks to leave. During that hunt, I dug a nice carved lead nipple protector shown in the collage pic. Now, all 3 of us have dug that same exact style carved nipple protector at the picket camp. These nipple protectors kept dirt & moisture out of the firing chamber. Note the impression on the top resulting from the hammer being placed on the protector relieving pressure on the spring. I scouted some property near the U.S. picket camp on 2-24 but eventually gravitated back to the picket camp. My finds are shown on the white background. I dug my first nipple protector carved from a .69 cal. 3 ringer. Ironically, only one .69 cal. 3 ringer has been dug out of the approximately 167 relics we have dug there since 2-11. I also dug a bonus 1892 IH. HH from the Trio, Quindy.

Nice little bunch of relics. I am going to wear my lucky green shirt on Friday so get ready to find some good stuff if not we will eat a good lunch. LOL

I know of two small villages that Forest spend some Winter time in , yet , not a trace. I admire your skills and success in Middle Tennessee. I salute your dedication to this hobby with a song written and sung by Norman Blake of Raising Fawn , Georgia.

Thanks RD66. The song is a very good one and appreciated. As a fellow Tennessean relic hunter you know full well the challenge that digging relics consistently presents these days. Hope you find the Forrest camps, HH, from the Trio.

Nice hunt, Quindy! Coins are always a nice bonus to a relic hunter. Of course I take any piece of history I can get! It's all a sweet bonus really!

Thanks Matt. I'll admit that I like the old coins as well Bud. HH, Q.

Q- Congrats to the Trio. You guys end up with a great collection of CW relics at every spot you hit. Two questions Sir..... 1) What happened to the Yankee tunes in your videos? 2) With all of those great nipple protectors you guys are finding, I'm assuming there were women in that camp too? Well done Guys! -MM-

Thanks Mark & Bill. Happy Huntuing guys.

Dawg, we don't have chicks with tight sweaters on our hunts but we do have Dman in that pukey green golf shirt-LOL. You can blame Steve in PA , Tenn. Digger, & Buckleboy for that-LOL. Hope you can get out to hunt this weekend Bud, Q.

 

[Old Dude]

Mr Q.....I bet if Dman loaned you some of his back issues of GQ, your closet might be bursting with salmon, lavender or eggshell colored golf attire too?Did his wardrobe change once he became a YouTube star? If so, you might bear some of the blame ya know.
