Found this while walking the banks of the Savannah River looking for fossils and artifacts.It's the first one I've found and I don't know anything about them.I know that where I found it was a real old railway that went along the river that is now a trail.It was barely sticking out of the muck.It says Whitall Tatum No.1 on one side and Made in U.S.A. 7-41 with an A circled on the other side.I've seen posts here about them and I was real happy with the find.If anyone has any info please let me know.Thanks!! HH!!

Thanks guys for the link and the area info.I'll keep looking for them.The area I found this one is almost directly across from Fort Pulaski along what used to be the train rail that carried people from Savannah to Tybee island.Now it's just a 6 mile trail,but at low tide there seems to be an endless possibility of finds in all the mud.Thanks again..HH!!
