That's as much of a national treasure as any civil war relic you could have found...

Thanks so much for this thread! Kudos for your efforts!

I have nephews and nieces in Redding (California) and plan to definitely see the exhibit in person.

The museum is "temporary" at this time and there will be a groundbreaking for the permanent one soon and more of Mr. Wallace's items will be on display at the permanent museum close to the Redding airport.

Great find and even greater story.

Three links to add to the story. Link to a photo he took before the war, story in the news of getting hit at Pearl, and a story about the museum with the display.

Awsome finds man nice job on it like you said it wasn't found with a metal detector but better yet it was found by someone with the inthusasium of the value of the find. It has been a long day. HH and good luck with your research man, with your piece of history.....HH freddy

I just read this entire thead and was at the edge of my seat the whole time. It has been mentioned several times in here that a book should be written, well I believe one has and it is right here. You definately deserve kudos for all your work and diligence. Most would have sought profit. Thank you very much!!!!!
