Tenn.Trio Hunt: Republic of Texas Button, 2 Spanish Silvers, 1842 LC, Ball Buttons..

[VOL1266-X]

The Tennessee Trio reunited for a morning hunt today. Yesterday, I scouted a site and Josh scouted another site. Josh’s site produced a 1842 LC, lead nipple protector, brass chain, and a flat button so we opted to hunt his site. At the least, it was an old 1800s home site.
Dman had the best find today with the Republic of Texas button. He is cleaning it tonight and, due to some corrosion in the center of the star, we’ll have to wait to see if it has the “I”, “D” for Dragoon, or nothing in the center. Our understanding from a local relic dealer is they were issued in 1837. More details to follow.
Josh had a big day as he dug two (2) half Reales. One was 1805 and the other is worn pretty smooth. He also dug his first ball button today. We had information that there was CW activity in that site but aside from the carved lead nipple protector and Doug’s Texas button possibly being dropped by a CSA Soldier, we found no evidence of a CW camp. There is a CW road nearby however. Enjoy the video and Happy Thanksgiving from the Trio.
UPDATE: Actually, I had the Best Find today. Our first Grandchild “Morgan Ashby Robertson”, a healthy 8 lb. 9 oz. baby girl was born about 10 pm. Dman says it won’t be long before she is tagging along with the Trio and digging relics-LOL.
BUTTON UPDATE: Doug cleaned the Texas button (pic later). He says it definitely reads "Republic of Texas' around the perimeter with nothing in the star center. When he sends a new pic for me to post, it is definitely BANNER material.

I cant really see the button in the photo. Are we sure its republic and not CW? If its republic its banner all day long.

You guys rock!!!! Great finds by Josh and Dman for sure, but I would say Quindy owes the lunch this time for the arrival of baby Morgan.
Congrats Grandpa Q. I'm sure you will have plenty of great stories for her.
Looking forward to seeing your next hunt from that site.
Thanks again for the awesome videos.

Doug will make a better pic now that he's cleaned it. There is nothing in the star center and it DOES have "Republic of Texas" around the perimeter. Thanks Bell and I will post a better pic when Doug takes it. A RARE recovery. HH, Quindy.

Wat to go Tennessee Trio. It is a fitting name for your Granddaughter as Quindy might sound kinda funny as she got older. The Texas button is a great find and a ways from home. Glad that Tennessee rescued her. Great video,buttons,and silver.
Good luck with the site and Happy Thanksgiving to you guys. Thanks for sharin.

Awesome. The stuff dreams are made of.

 

[lost crow]

Nice group of finds, that button is killer.

 

[tennessee digger]

Quindy, now that the button has been confirmed, you guys will NEVER hear the end of it!!! Maybe there is something to wearing golf shirts while digging. Can't argue with success!!! Congrats on the new GRANDaughter too. You won't know how to act after this. Oh, and thanks for the positive article in the N/S Trader, Julia and I appreciate the credit that you gave us in your article. Tennessee digger
