Tennessee CW Relic Finds from Sunday and Today's Rain Out Hunt

Yesterday, I made a solo sortie to a local CSA Camp before the Super Bowl. Josh went to a U.S. Cavalry camp for a little while near his home. I tried to persuade Dman to go with me but he felt he should ease into hunting at a house first after the doctor released him to go hunting. I dug the .54 cal. and 2 .58 cal. 3 ringers, .69 cal. round ball, and harness buckle cleaned up in the first pic. Josh dug the Sharps Carbine bullet and Colt .44 cal. pistol bullet.
With Dman scheduled for therapy and impending rain today, Josh and I returned to the CSA Cavalry Camp where I dug the Block "I" button last week. We both dug a dropped Burnside Carbine bullet (as we did last Monday). Josh had the best find with the carved lead nipple protector shown in the next pics with the Burnside cartridge. He also dug the brass suspender buckle but we were unsure of the age. Any guesses welcome. Still out there Buckleboy? About 3.5 hours into the hunt, I looked off the high hill to the Southwest and the rain was moving in fast. We cut a trail to our trucks. Happy hunting from Dman, Josh, and myself, Quindy.

Nice digs all around Q - I'm sure Dman is "chomping at the bit" to get back out again...

Way to go guys. :thumbsup:

That nipple protector was a great find.
Nice job on the lead. :thumbsup:

Would that .69 round ball weigh more or less than the fired .69 you sent me last week? :icon_scratch:

Congrats,
Dug

MM, the fired.69 3 ringer that I sent you would weigh around 700 grains or more where the .69 cal. balls weigh around 400 grains or so. HH, Quindy.

Now you fellas have just been huntin away lately! And finding some stellar finds. That protector is some find. I'm trying to figure out why those boys felt like they had to protect their nipples back then.

great finds!

Mike,
I'm guessing it was because of chaffing in the cold weather. :dontknow:

Just a guess. :tongue3:

Nice finds Quindy. Too bad the rain shortened your hunt. I can't wait to see what else you find there.

This has been a horrible Winter Nana. It reminds me of the 1977 winter. Spring will be here soon. Thanks, Q.

You don't know how right you are Andy. We have snow on the ground now, more expected tomorrow night, and into the 40s by this weekend. He's ready to go. HH, Quindy.

I thought we had cleaned it out but it keeps producing Randy. I credit the F75s for our success lately. HH, Q.
