Chilly, wet hunt at the Yankee Camp

[Thunderchild]

Temps around 40 degrees and light rain couldn't keep me inside today. Hunted the pounded Yankee Camp, the site of Modern Miners epic battle with the gigantic 13" Copperhead last week. Finds are becoming more and more difficult to come by at this site but I managed a few today. Two three ringers, one Williams cleaner, two whittled bullets, what looks like and artillery accessory (gimlet?) and a triangular shaped object (file?). Nice to get out. I didn't really notice the cold till my wife called and asked " arent' you freezing?)

I'd rather dig a minnie than a silver coin. The cold never bothers you wne you are digging good targets.

Nice finds.

Nice finds Glenn. I assume they are are going to put up a historic marker there (about MM's fight with the 13" Anaconda not the CW camp-LOL). Tenn. Josh dug one of those gimlets last spring. Get MM to tell you about my scouting trip yesterday. Cool finds & HH, Quindy.

Glenn,
I can't believe you were out there in that rain a cold weather yesterday. You are a Yankee camp diehard.
How you keep finding those great CW relics I'll never know. Nice haul again, Congrats.
I thought a gimlet was a drink?

That AT pro came in handy on a day like yesterday. The weather was horrible. You are a diehard for sure! I would like to have one for hunting on rainy days myself.

Take another look at that triangular piece, it may be part of a bayonet!

I highly recommend the AT Pro. Simple to use, remembers my settings on power up, push one button, pump the coil to GB and off you go! It gets real good depth also. Let me know if you ever need a hunting partner around GoldsBoro. I've been reserching that area some. Glenn

Nice hunting TC.

A little cold and rain ain't "gona" stop no relic hunter.

 

[BuckleBoy]

Great finds there! Yes, a little cold and spotty rain isn't gonna keep anyone away--whether relic or coin hunter.

Finds of a lifetime don't wait for sunny days.


Cheers,


Buck
