Digging Campfire Lead is a Good Idea in U.S. Camp-VIDEO

[VOL1266-X]

With the temp at 70 degrees, I had to go hunting. Doug was busy in his store and Josh was still resting from working last night, I made a solo trip to a large U.S. camp. I decided to check a field we had lightly hunted before with limited results. It produced only 2 fired bullets and WW2 maneuvers relics.
My F75 had a good signal when our friend the landowner stopped by to visit and see if I had dug anything exciting. While he was there, I dug the signal and it was a dropped bullet. When he headed home, I started digging campfire lead. As you can see on the Doug Snyder “Relic Rag”, I dug a lot of campfire lead. Along with that lead, I dug 5 dropped Type III Williams Cleaner bullets, one .56 cal. Colt Revolving Rifle bullet, & a pistol ball. My finds since 11-25 at the same site are shown on the black background. Dig that campfire lead! Enjoy the video.
HH & Merry Christmas from the Tennessee Trio, Q.

Come on, you 2! It's pretty apparent you guys are sitting on just about the best CW site in the Volunteer State. We aren't all dummies here on TNet. You can stop all that " hunted out " stuff, lol.

Per Tenn. Digger, that site was discovered in the early 1980s & the guy who found it hunted it solo for nearly 2 years before the word got out to local hunters. The landowner let everyone hunt and the local hunters hit it hard but it's a large property. Then, about 12 years ago (per the landowner) the hunters got to be a nuisance and he stopped ALL hunting. I didn't know this when I asked for permission for the Trio to hunt. I guess I said the right things and had good references. We were lucky to get on there. To date, we have dug 625 relics from there but it was far from a virgin site. HH, Q.

Quindy is right Old Dude. Some of the early hunters would always say "Ah hell, that place is cleaned out, you might find a bullet or two, waste of time" I keep telling Quindy that it IS cleaned out but he won't listen!
