Me thinks we stumbled upon a pre civil war encampment

However it seems to be kind of small. BUT all the dropped musket balls with the pouring spout attached, A pre 1800 dagger, my 1827 large cent and my friend found a 1839 Schilling yestereday. This site seems very promissing however the foot of oak tree leaves is hampering us a tad!! Will post pictures tonight of the dagger, bullets and schilling. Having too much fun in the woods.

Now if my poison ivy would go away!!

Do remember your hometown folks might be reading this forum so don't let the cat out of the bag relative location or
might find a lot of fellows fishing in in favorite fishing hole kind of thing...

Good luck and dig the iffies so you don't miss a dandy find...

Not being greedy just a word to the wise as one local just did that and within a week a club of 40 or so members invaded the area.
