Wildman Cometh
« on: February 11, 2015, 06:03:48 PM »
Hello,

Many of the old collectors know of Wildman (AKA Dent Myers) who pictured below on the far left.  He owns a relic shop in downtown Kennesaw, GA. and has for I guess at least 50 years.  He has been in quite a few movies and was very active in the ACW re-enacting hobby.  I bought my first item, a 15-inch loop for my Whites Relic Master detector, in about 1975 and he was well established then.  He, among many things, is known for his belief that he is Stonewall Jackson reincarnated as well as his somewhat interesting personality.   Wildman doesn't attend shows much anymore so is rarely seen even by the locals unless you go to his shop.  But this past weekend his buddy Harper (or Sheriff as my kids call him for obvious reasons) brought him to the Dalton Show.  He was a bit of a personality walking around.  He's pictured with Harper, RelicRunner and myself.  Thought I'd share this with those old timers who might have known or met him. 
Best,
Carl
