ATHC Hunt at the Battle of Reed's Bridge

Hello everyone,

Today, on my birthday, I got to hunt the site of
the Civil War Battle of Reed's Bridge.

It was an Arkansas Treasure Hunters Club hunt,
in association with the Arkansas Historic
Preservation Society.... All our significant finds
were logged and given to the Museum of Military
History in Jacksonville, AR.

Here is where the road was. It was on the right
side of the split rail fence. You can kind of see
where it was,

The gentleman on the right is with the Arkansas
Historical Preservation Society,

He has been making improvements,,, like these
buildings, fences and so on that he built. He is
making something nice out of this site.

At the end of the day, that musket ball was my
best find. Here is my pile. The red arrows are
