U.S. CW Camp Hunt: Spur, Kepi Buckle, Eagle Button & Dman as "Advisor"

Since Dman's doctor laid the law down with an edict of "absolutely NO detecting for two weeks", He was relegated to "Professional Advisor" (according to him) for Josh and I as we made a 3 hour hunt to the large U.S. infantry, artillery, and cavalry camp today. He needed to be there anyway as we made pics for another article being submitted to W & E Treasures Magazine this week plus he wanted to collect his free lunch from Josh for finding the last Eagle button during last Friday's hunt.
We felt sorry for him and so we designated an appropriate number of signals as "Designated Dman Discovery Signals". Any relics we recovered from those holes were his to keep. Of course, we tried to select brass signals so he might find an Eagle button and replace Josh as the "official lunch buyer".
Our finds from today are shown in the first pic. Dman walked with the brass kepi buckle, Burnside cartridge, and bullets (including the dropped Williams Cleaner that Josh really wanted to call his own-LOL. Josh was very excited to find part of a brass spur and found the most bullets today. I screwed up and found the General Shield Eagle button with shank and Waterbury backmark, the part of a period lock, and three bullets. Josh found the iron spike that we frequently recover in CW sites. Thanks for looking and happy hunting from the Tennessee Trio (with Dman in the role of "Professional Advisor" today), Quindy.

Dman may have found his calling - "Relic guide extraordinaire".
Way to go guys. Nice recoveries for the Tenn Trio. :thumbsup:

Another article? Pretty soon we'll be seeing you guys on some talk shows, and after that "Dancing with the Stars". :laughing9:

That lock piece looks like it has a face on it. :tongue3:

Looking forward to your next adventure.

Very honorable to designate finds to your fellow detectorist that has been chained, shackled and barred from hunting by his doc. Great relics guys!

Re: U.S. CW Camp Hunt: Spur, Kepi Buckle, Eagle Button & Dman as "Advisor"

A regular day at a CW camp! Too bad the spur was broken, I'd have liked to see Josh get that sucker whole but the goods are still comin and the rest of it may not be far away. Good Job guys :wink:

Q, I know you picked brass targets so it would eather be a shot gun shell or a free lunch Button!
Congrats Guys!

You know it Rob but he still got the kepi buckle and Burnside cartridge anyway. HH, Q.

I don't know about great but with this grass growing fast, they are finds anyway. Thanks Bud, Quindy.

I mailed it today Steve. Generally, it takes about 6 months to get it in print if they accept it they haven't turned one of ours down yet). It's concerning the lost U.S. cavalry site that Josh hunted last year. He made some great finds. Check MM's article in the new issue-it's good!!! Quindy.

Thganks Randy. It's been hard hunted for many years but the Fisher F75s still pull out the relics. HH, Q.

He would do the same for us Charlene. Thanks for looking and replying, Quindy.

We thought that too Josh and maybe one of us can dig it. If Dman and I do, we'll sell it to Josh (Big $$$-LOL). Good luck at the hunt this weekend. Find a banner for us Josh, Quindy.

I'm glad you all got out and found some great relics, and every good hunt needs an advisor, mine is typically 10 years old and claims everything his, unless its iron junk that is lol, can't wait to see whats next.

Guy, I know the feeling. My son will be 26 this month and went with me when he was about 10 years old. He loved to fish and knew where every landowner's pond was located. Instead of a detector, he carried a rod & reel-LOL. Enjoy your time with your kids as they grow up fast. The next thing you know Buddy, you will be selling your detector to buy him a truck-LOL. Thanks for looking Guy, Quindy.

At-a-boy Quindy. Sorry to hear about Dman being demoted to supervisor. :icon_pirat:

Hope he gets better soon. Good luck on your coming hunts. :icon_thumright:

Dman · Apr 7, 2011

Re: U.S. CW Camp Hunt: Spur, Kepi Buckle, Eagle Button & Dman as "Advisor"

That was a lot of fun supervising. I believe the supervisor should get most of what you two find. I know you are going Friday. Call me when you get done hunting and tell me what I found.

That camp is still given up the relics, Congrats guys, you too Dman. Do what the doctor says's and in
no time you will be beating Josh and Quindy.

I am going in for surgery on my left knee April 15, so I will know how it feels to not detect for awhile, bummer.

Quindy, I bought a American Digger magazine with my Seated Half dollar on the cover, at DIV 16. Thanks for telling me about it.

HH all, Ringfinder
