Finally, the Tennessee Trio was able to reunite and hunt a Union Civil War camp from 1862-63. What better way to spend a beautiful 60 degree day than to hunt for history with good friends.
Doug and I met Josh at the site about 8:30 am and we hunted for 3.5 hours. Our expectation was to dig a variety of CW bullets and someone may dig an eagle button.
Well, Doug recovered the eagle button and a brass spur buckle. Josh dug the end of a U.S. Regulation cavalry spur and the end of an iron nipple protector with a few links of chain remaining. I dug a brass knapsack hook minus the button that I attempted to trade Josh for the spur end-no deal-LOL.
We dug a variety of bullets including pistol balls, .44 cal. Colts, .54 cal. Merrill carbines, Type 3 .58 cal. Williams Cleaners, and several pieces of campfire lead. I dug a short piece of rolled lead no doubt used as a pencil.
It was a fun day! HH, from Doug, Josh, & Quindy.
