WOW!!!....I discovered these relics and more within about 6 hours in an area about the size of a bonus room. I have already identified the True Whig button, but several of the items I am unsure about. Does anyone know what the silver ornate item is? or the rusty button with some sort of animal on it?....this sport is AWESOME!!!!!!!!

I do not know any CW history of this land. It has been in my wife's family for probably 30 years. There is an old single tombstone on a hill marked 1800 and something, and a neighbor told me that there was a wagon train through there in the 1800's as well. Hopefully finding these relics will unravel some of the mystery......I searched yesterday for 45 minutes at dusk and found 3 buttons and 5 bullets and many other iron relics....I finally had to leave because it was completely dark. It is supposed to be near 65F here today....so you know where I am going.

Hey, any chance of telling us what part of the state your fields are located in? I'm not looking for an address, of course, but Tennessee is long and thin :-)

excellent finds, congrats

Sounds like you have a perfect and huge area for MDing.

Here's an idea: go on google earth or google maps and look at the field as close as it lets you.
You can often see old wagon trails that way that are completely "invisible" when on the ground.

Have (more) fun!
