Howdy all,
I am the brother of John37115 and Uncle to Caleb-in-TN, I'm just here to defend myself. I've been hearing about how much fun John and Caleb have been having here at treasurenet telling folks things like they've been skunkin ole Uncle Kirk. Well they might have got lucky a time or two, but as I recall I put it to 'em both a view times... Yep, I'm as crazy or crazier about this mistress we call metal detecing. I Got so hopped up reading treasure hunting stories online the other night that when I finaly did hit the hay, I dreamed I was pluckin' gold coins out left and right. I woke up tired but by the time I had a cup of coffee and that first cig. I was ready to hit it, Well, I didn't find any gold that day, but I did find my first barber quarter in an old church yard just down the road. Brother John and I had found a number of newer coins there, a view wheats and an old gold plated sunday school pin. Needless to say this old quarter made my day. It's got a pretty bad nick on the side. I don't think I done it as I learned a long time ago after nicking a 1914d wheat as a boy, that you best back off the pinpoint mark at least 3 or 4 inches and cut a nice little horse shoe to keep from makin' such bone head mistakes. Anyhow, I'd like to post a few more recent finds from the {Grandpa of the South} which is the oldest fairgrounds in the state of TN. I've found some real nice dimes there in the past few weeks. Well, this has been fun and I feel proud to be a new member here.

I dream of detecting also.I woke up this morning for work and I had just found four gold rings.But alas ,it was only a dream. Went down stairs and the temp was -2 . 
Told my brother (on tnet John37115) what you said about hitting the CW battle ground near Atoka...He said if we ever make that trip he wants in. He's been studying the cw history around where we live here in TN. There was alot of action here from what we've read. Thanks again, I'm adding you to my buddy list.
