Watch Key, Saddle Guard Plate, Eagle Cuff, & Yankee Camp Can R.I.P. Until Fall

Dman begged off our hunt today because he knew his store was going to be busy and he's resting his shoulder. Josh and I decided to brave the snakes and ticks at the U.S. CW camp that we hunted with Dixiedigger and the infamous Relic Hound last week. The skeeters were friendly and it was 84 deg. when we ended out 3.5 hour hunt. Josh found a perfect Eagle cuff with a straight shank. We called Dman at lunch and he was delighted that Josh is still buying lunch for the Tenn. Trio. I dug the little pocket watch winding key in the camp and it was 6-7 inches deep like most of the other relics there. I also dug the iron underwear button, and brass saddle guard plate for a McClellan saddle.
This will probably end our Spring hunting season except for a few home sites and plowed ground. Now, it's time to research potential CW and old home locations. HH from the Tennessee Trio, Quindy.
Watch for Dman's article on yard hunting in Western & Eastern Treasures Magazine soon, our article in the June-July issue of American Digger entitled "Every Relic has a Story", and an article about Josh of the Trio finding a virgin U.S. Cavalry site tentatively scheduled for the August issue of W & E Treasures. We also have some our recent finds scheduled to be pictured in North South Trader's Civil War and AD Magazines this Summer.

The Tenn trio strikes again! Some nice relics guys. Congrats on the eagle button Josh. Those two are going to get fatter fat off of you buying lunches.

"I also dug the iron underwear button"
I learned something new here today Q. I had no idea the troops wore iron underwear. Could rust up if you wet yourself?

Looking forward to all of the upcoming stories.

Thanks Ty. Maybe I can make enough from articles to buy a better camera-LOL. My pics will never be as good as yours and your photo gallery site is excellent my friend. Q.

Thanks MM. I read in a comic book somewhere that only Yankees from Indiana carried cans of WD-40 in the event they had an accident during the CW-LOL. Q.

Steve, that place is like your site. This Fall will be another adventure and we will wonder how the heck we missed those relics. I think that's the first watch winder that I have dug as I rarely hunt old homes. Thanks Bud, Quindy.

Nice relics as always Quindy. You are on a roll.

The warm weather will stop the roll Jesse and I'm already waiting for Fall. It's time for you to entertain us for a change with your great finds Buddy. HH, Quindy.

I'm starting to think you & Dman are planting those free lunch buttons for Josh Quindy.
Nice relics guys! Is that a nipple protector I see?
Sad to see your season come to an end.
I'm looking forward to reading all your articles.
Boy when they say you wrote the book on relices they mean it literally!

Rob, the way relics are getting in price, it would be cheaper to buy lunch than buy and plant the buttons-LOL. I dug what may have been a small nipple protector for a boot pistol but I don't think it was ever used because there are no hammer marks that I can see on it. I am looking forward to your article coming out in American Digger this Summer on how you dug those CW era bottles. One of those bottles should make the cover. HH, Q.

Nice finds Quindy. Yes is it warming up and won't be able to hunt the woods much longer. I found an underwear or shirt button earlier myself. It still had some blue on it. Must have been from a yankee...lol

We appreciate you looking and replying TTH. HH, Quindy.

Great digs again fellas!

Mike, it's getting late in our relic hunting season. We may be able to hunt a little when hay is cut in late May. Thanks Bud, Quindy.

Sounds like you all had a great time, killer finds, the heat will be soon to come.

Guy, with the heat comes the ticks, snakes, and skeeters . I would much rather hunt in cold weather. HH, Quindy.

One hunting friend has already had a case of Lyme disease THIS YEAR. I believe you are right about an early tick season HB. You had a great Winter/Spring hunting season in KY. HH, Quindy.

Josh, if we find a hot spot, we won't hesitate to continue hunting but the weekly hunts are over until Fall. We may do a little night hunting in mowed off areas. Take care, Quindy.

Nice

Thanks for taking time to look and reply SSCC and HH from Tennessee.

Re: Watch Key, Saddle Guard Plate, Eagle Cuff, & Yankee Camp Can R.I.P. Until Fall

Well, I rekin with your season slowing down, that'll give Josh time to save for those lunches he's gonna be buying this fall. I know everything is growing up fast around here too. We went yesterday and got permission for a new site. One buckle and a bunch a daisies. :P
GREAT group of finds, ya'll!
