Tenn. Trio CW Hunt: Carved Chess Piece, GS Eagle Button, J Hook, + 19 Bullets...

[VOL1266-X]

The Tennessee Trio decided to get in a short 3 hour hunt at an Indiana & Ohio Infantry and 2nd Michigan Cavalry camp this morning. Even though a good soaking rain would enhance finding deep relics there, we did okay. Josh found a coat size eagle button in the picture (not cleaned) but didn’t buy lunch again-LOL. My best find was a 3 ringer carved into a chess piece. The temperature was in the 50s, no rain, everyone dug relics, and we all saved a little history and added a few more relics to our display boxes from that camp while we enjoyed hunting together. What’s not to like? HH, from the Tennessee Trio and have a great weekend, Quindy.

That chess piece is awesome. The story is beyond anything you can imagine. The soldiers needed a way to be entertained in between getting shot at. Nice finds!

Thanks Mr. Schultz and i looked back as I keep records and locations of recoveries. I dug a finely carved acorn bullet in Sept. of 2011 at a CS camp. That was the last good example of soldier's art that I I recovered until the chess piece yesterday. There were 492 Civil War relics in between so they don't happen very often (for me anyeway). HH, Quindy.
