Tennessee Trio Attacks 1862 Ind. & Ohio Infantry Camp Today-59 Relics Dug!

Finally, all members of the Tennessee Trio (as MM calls us) were able to hunt for 5.5 hours at the U.S. CW Indiana and Ohio Infantry camp today. We had 59 relics if Tenn. Josh and Dman didn’t miscount.
Doug took off for the old home site near where Donnie dug the 1820 LC last week when we hunted together and spent about 1.5 hours there when we arrived. I set out looking for more concentrated tent line relics while Josh hit the tent lines we had already identified. Doug and I met up with Josh about the same time and he had already dug 6 3 ringers.
Our combined finds are in the first pic plus I made 2 pics of relics as dug and one of Josh’s carved nipple protector that Doug and I voted as Best Find today even though Josh dug a damaged eagle button that will again entitle him to buy our lunch (Attn. Hill Billy). He did buy our lunch today. He originally had two excuses:
1. Left wallet at home.
2..Had to go in to work early
That dog didn’t hunt so he bought our lunch. He dug a nice knapsack hook as did Doug. That makes 6 from that site so far. Doug recovered a U.S. issue gun tool and that make 4 assorted gun tools from the site. Josh and I both dug an old pocket knife today. It was a beautiful February day in middle Tennessee and we all dug relics-what’s not to like? HH from the Trio, Quindy.

Quindy, You be sure and tell those two that it's cheating when you go to the old house site instead of a CW tent line. :P I guess digging that Large Cent got everyone fired up. Well, let me tell you that those LC's are there to find. I would imagine that TN is no different from KY in the old coin department, if you are hunting houses that were 1860s and before.

But as you know, once they are worked out, that's all she wrote.

No house site finds during this hunt?


Best Wishes,

Doug could not resist the old house since he spent 35 years coin hunting before he began relic hunting with me. I scouted around the woods to try to find another hot spot for all 3 of us to hunt. His house hunt resulted in nothing good. Donnie feels the old house is 1890s or so. I have 101 relics from that site so far and wanted the rest of the Trio to dig enough relics for a nice full display box too. They wiil (and have) done the same for me at other sites. They have now almost caught up so they better fasten their seat belts-LOL. Good luck in LA on Friday. HH, Q.

Cant wait to get back out and find those things. Wonderful to see someone taking along a camera. It's like we are there to witness and do chicken dances!

That was a lot of fun. I am looking forward to Friday and hunting some more.
