Tennessee Trio Hunt-1 & TENN JOSH Digs a Relic With U.S. in Big Letters On It
The Tennessee Trio recently secured permission for a new site from some landowners adjacent to a C.S. site where we have dug one CS button, several eagle buttons, a 1830 dime, and lots of bullets of different calibers. We planned a trip today but Dman had to reluctantly cancel at the last minute. Since Josh had already told the landowners to expect us, Dman encouraged us to go without him.
Josh and I arrived at the site a little after 8 am and spread out. I scouted an area for a little over an hour with no results. I met up with Josh who showed me a broken skeleton key he had dug. We went a little farther into the woods near a wet weather spring. We were about 15 ft. apart when Josh got a good signal on his F75. He held up a brass looking piece and said it may be part of a plate. I said that's real thin but looks like a heel tap. He came down to me and poured some water on it. I saw the border and thought I saw a "C' but I just got excited because it was the "U". I realized it was about 60% of the brass skin on a U.S. plate. I told Josh to go back to the hole as the other part may be there. He did and he already had the other part out on top of the hole. He was stoked. We hunted around the general area and he dug a dropped Sharps Carbine bullet and a few pistol balls.
I worked my way up the hill and hit a hot spot where I dug a perfect dropped .577 cal. Enfield bullet on top of a rock only one inch deep. I dug a dropped .54 cal. 3 ringer close by and yelled "hot spot Josh, get up here". He came up with me and dug a GS coat size eagle button with shank there. I dug a big chunk of campfire lead. By then it was 10:30 and Josh said he had to go and get ready for work so we headed to the truck reluctantly leaving signals behind. I dug the dropped 3 ring .69 cal. "Fat Boy" with thick wall indicative of CS .69s from that area on the way to the truck and Josh had to drag me off-LOL. We wanted Dman to get in on the fun there soon.
After Josh dug the eagle button in the hot spot I had found, he said "this is a great little spot I found" and laughed. I told him that he has been around Dman too much as that sounded just like something he would say-LOL. HH from the Trio, Quindy.
