6th Hunt of 2015 - Battle of the Briars

Dsm_mechva · Jan 20, 2015

Back at my same spot today, in the wooded area.

The land owner said I could clear briars, brush and etc.

So I brought my weed eater with brush cutter attachment it cuts briars , brush, saplings and etc like butter which is a good thing because they are everywhere in this particular area.

Did a little detecting in some of the area with the remainder of my day.

Next time I will have more detecting time and clear more land at another time. There are plenty more briars and such remaining.

Here are my 2 keepers..

It's amazing what we will do to get to hunt Civil War relics. My partner and I have cleared a lot of places like that so we can hunt. We were mowing a field of briars and 3 foot high sage grass back in December and my John Deere 317 caught fire and burned to the ground. When it was all said and done I found one .58 cal Minie ball and a General Service Eagle button. Not quite worth the cost. LOL. Hope things work out for you and you find a bunch of goodies.

Last summer I push mowed the small field a few times that is part of his land, it was over 100 degrees each time.

It is pretty crazy what we all will do in hopes of finding relics.

I hope you find a lot of good stuff.

You know I was thinking of doing that at one of my spots. Hey that put a couple more finds in your collection. Nice going.

Sure hope the reward is equal to the effort you're putting in!

Digger70pa · Jan 21, 2015

Well the place I'm contemplating has produced Gardiner explosive bullets. I'm really thinking of doing this. :yes:

It was somewhat therapeutic too :lol:

Make sure you use a brush cutter blade/attachment.

I didn't have time to detect much of the area I cleared, planning to try that tomorrow, then next time clear some more and so on.

Heck yea, buddy! I would gladly do some brush clearing at a place that has relics, to be able to hunt it. Get you into shape to dig those plates :laughing:
