Eagle "I" Officer's Cuff Button & Tonto Nearly Got Skunked Yesterday!!

With the cool front that came through Tennessee yesterday, it felt a little like Fall and I felt the urge to hunt CW relics even with most sites grassed over. Yesterday, I scouted a field near a large U.S. Infantry Camp where hay had been cut and came one lone .58 cal. bullet from getting skunked. No need to take the Tennessee Trio & Tenn. Digger back there. I look at it like "One spot eliminated".
Today, I went to a Gen. Morgan CSA Cavalry Camp just because it was a nice day with low humidity. Dman chose to hone his golf game. I was surprised to get a "47" reading on my F75 as I hunted around weeds in the pasture. About 7 inches down, out came an Eagle Infantry Officer's Cuff Button. Morgan's troops probably "appropriated" a Yankee uniform-LOL. I'll take it!! Still alive and looking forward to Fall, Quindy.

MY CW Relics in 2012=296

Hey Q, Glad to you pulled the Infantry Button & Bullet. WTG! We got your cool front today here in NC; it was absolutely beautiful with NO humidity. I had already made prior commitments, so I didn't get to swing, but glad you did. :thumbsup: Breezie
 

Great finds. The weather was finally cool in Maryland also. Looking forward to the fall harvest.
 

Great recoveries Quindy :thumbsup:
 

Cool relics!!!
 

Thanks Breezie, RR3, Roger, and JC. On Friday, it was 59 degrees and misting rain with a srong North wind. It really did feel like Autumn. HH, Quindy.

Glad to see you avoided the "skunk" Quindy. I know what you mean by the cooler weather triggering your relic hunting urges.

Thanks OS, Dawg, and Steve. Not many opportunities to hunt without burning up between now and Fall guys. HH, Quindy.
 

Quindy, good to talk to you this morning. I know where your find came from and so that makes it even better. Although that is a large field, it has been looked on about 10,000 times! I don't see how there was anything left but because of your "never give up" style of hunting, only you could find something there. Me likes! Tennessee digger
 

Great hunt ! :thumbsup:

Thanks Donnie, H, and, Burdie. No banners but a banner comes by maybe every 3 or 4 years IF you hunt a lot or are real lucky. Only a few are really lucky. Thanks for taking time to reply and come on Fall!! HH, Quindy.
