I have lived in the area for about two years now. I am from Tennessee, and have dug civil war relics for about eight years now. I am interested in finding someone willing to dig any historical areas. CW, Seminole war, Spanish, ect. I am just now starting research with a few potential CW sites, but am very determined. I am 27, and love to dig. I would like to find someone honest, not going to tell everyone of our sites, and willing to help in research. Someone who is experienced in research that wouldnt mind helping me learn to research would be great, or we could learn together. I live on the SS of Jax. I am not to terribly interested in digging the beaches for rings and such, that is unless its after a storm, ect. That, also, is something I do not know much about, and would like to find someone with experience with beach hunting. Anyways, thanks in advance.

Hey newbie interested here. I've been interested for a while, but been doing some research as of late. Found my house I grew in is extremely close to where the old spanish st. augustine to tallahassee road crossed the river, so might be some areas worth hunting there. Also I believe the olustee site could be hunted too. I've done some researching and to me it seems the actual battle did not take place where they do the reenactment. I believe if you take a look at general finegans writings the battle would have take place very close to ocean pond and with the smaller pond to it's southeast as the borders. So might be worth checking out.

I think this place would be fantastic , I imagin its a state park but there should be some associated sites to find. Negro Fort - Ghost Town This place should be loaded with relics A magzine explosion in 1816 scattered rifles and swords throughout the area . It was attacked and overrun in the same action. During the civil war it was a confederate fort . even if you cant hunt there its still a great story. relicranger

Hi! I am new to hunting, well, I hunted with my Dad when I was a child. Now, I'm wanting to share this with my kids, especially my 8 year old son. I'd be interested in joining in hunts after I get some time to spend learning our detector. We're in Orange Park.
