New Madrid/Island Number Ten

[wormnblack]

Hi,

I've started doing a bit of research on the battle of Island number Ten (a.k.a. Number Ten Island). Has anyone searched around this area and/or the New Madrid area? I've seen a "map" of the area, but nothing is aproximent. Thanks for whatever hep you can offer!

I've seen quite a few artifacts over the last year that were attributed to coming from Island No. 10, so I would say that its been hunted hard. Trick might be to travel to the area and look around, then see if you can get permission from some adjoining landowners.

Yeah, I kinda figured it would be like that. I was thinking about looking at odd places that no one would consider as a worthwhile spot.

I think I have come across that name, but haven't read it tho. I'll have to look into it. Very cool having an author as a friend! Thank you!!!

Talked to a uncle this weekend and he talked about boats being sunk in the channel to block gunboats at New Madrid. He used to run a dirt excavation company that worked that area over 35 years ago. He has found things all over Southeastern Missouri from war and indians.

one of my fathers frienbd in 1980's went uo onto it you coukld still see the old small boats and they picked up a few things, I would not advicce going on 10 because it is washes out undeneath I have lived in that area my whole life if you go on it you possibly could never be seeen again due to you falling throught the sand where the water has eaten asway underneth the best would be the banks of farm land on each side
