Tenn. Trio Dug 700+ CW Relics in the Last 3 Months

[VOL1266-X]

I was going over my records on detecting before the Trio hunt this morning and was amazed to see the Civil War relic totals dug by the Trio during the last 3 months. If you view our posts you have seen that we have been putting most of our efforts into two sites. On Dec. 6, I scouted a site discovered in the 1970s that had been closed to hunting for 10 years. We owe a well-known veteran Tenn. relic hunter for suggesting that we check it out. He said that we may “find a few bullets”. To date, the Trio had recovered 446 relics from the site. The odd thing about this camp is the astonishing number of Williams Cleaner bullets. Over 40% of the relics recovered have been complete or parts of Williams Cleaners. We call it the Williams Cleaner camp. An article on our hunts at this camp will be published in a fall issue of American Digger Magazine. On Feb. 11, I scouted an area near a farm where we recovered some bullets last spring and stumbled on a virgin U. S. picket camp. The Trio began hunting that camp after my scouting trip and has recovered 194 relics from that site including today’s hunt. Josh dug a trigger guard assy. and I dug the first Eagle "I" Union Infantry Officer's button from the camp in today's 2 hour hunt as shown in the collage pic. These site hunts and finds will be published in one of the relic publications this year. Our 7 boxes of relics from the 2 sites are shown in the pics. Relics from these two sites totals 640 relics in the last three months not including another 60+ from other sites as I know I have dug 36 relics of the 60+. It will be hard to top these numbers for any 3 months in the future. HH, from Doug, Josh, & Quindy.

Wonderful job on putting all that together. You guys have proved that there is no such thing as a cleaned out place! I also love that song, one of my favorites. Did you know that John Anderson lives in Smithville?

Quindy, Another GREAT video, and I agree with MM . . .it is hard to beat the Tenn. Trio and yes, your video skills are soaring. You 3 have done an outstanding job saving history one dig at a time. I realize most of those digs were in COLD weather including snow and rain. Major kudos for all of your determination. I'm still amazed at all the Williams Cleaners that came out of that one area!
Keep up the great work , and I look forward to seeing more . . .after all, it's only March!

I am with MM on this. You've spoiled us and we want more! If Dman and Josh are too busy working, I volunteer to dig for you and I volunteer MM to buy lunch

That's both impressive and inspiring. I had a site that older hunters said virtually the same thing and my son and I proceeded to pull over 400 bullets out of. Love the "Hunted out" site!
