Civil War Nut

I started out to go to Jackson , Tn. to hunt the old Salem Cemetary Battle . When I got close to Trenton I realized I had forget my maps of the battle , so I just stoped at Trenton and done some hunting , and GLAD I did . The first picture is where I would have been with no where to go . So here is what I found at Trenton . .54 cal sharps & ringtiils , another pulled bullet , one and a half plates of some kind , another buckle might be the small oval C.S. buckle it was about 1/4 mile from where I found the other C.S. buckle , bottons , anchor and sword or cross with a heart on it , rimfire shells , coins after the War , and two locks . Good luck to all .

Seems like your on a lock streak :yes: Nice pic of that funnel cloud, thats some scary stuff.
 
Yeah, That's one thing I do not miss about TN...then again we had a BIG one here last year...give me a blizzard over a tornado any day!

Those are some great finds...... I notice the chew marks on some of the bullets...mice come accross them and knaw on them to file down their teeth....and then they die of lead poisoning..... lol....but sometimes, they can be from soldier's biting the bullett which is a pretty cool find.

Hidy RW . I started to put a large pix. of them on here and they could have been bit by our Southern boys . This is where the battle of Sept. 7 , 1862 at Trenton , Tn. was South 30 killed , 20 wonded it dosent say for the North .

nice assortment of finds. Quite a few bullets. Mean looking funnel cloud, glad everything worked out. :groovy:
 
Man! Great thread CWN! :shocked04: First off the tornado picture is just nuts!
Glad to see you were a least standing a little farther away than the others thumbsup01 lol
But it's funny how things workout ain't it. You had a great hunt even though it wasn't your intended hunt lo-cal thumbsup01 It seems everything happens for a reason :angelic:
The chewed bullets are awesome finds alone. And you found 3! :shocked04:stretcher: Thats crazy! :envious: But my favorite has to be the pulled bullet. Great picture of the threads from the puller or extractor! thumbsup01
All kindsa cool stuff! :cool:
Congrats!! :grin:
 
That is a great group of finds, and an awesome picture of a tornado. That is a tough day to beat.....


C'mon summertime!
 
Nice hunt, we find quite a few chewed minie's here. The shot of that tornado resembles hunting here in Oklahoma. lol
