Battle of Shilo....................

[d2]

Anyone here ever been able to detect around the Shilo area? I lost my GGG Grampaw Post there fighting for the CSA. I would like a mini ball, dropped or fired, from the battle if anyone has one they would get rid of. I will swap one in the same condition from the Battle of Jenkins Ferry or another battle or two that is fairly close by. I prefer it not be one found somewhere else and dropped and then picked up saying it was "recovered" at Shilo. I'll trust you if you say it's genuine. Anyone has one let me know, thanks...d2

I live on a 60 acre farm across from the park. The first time I detected my place I found mini balls all over my front yard... I’ve also found several camps on my place this is the most recent thing I’ve found

I'd be proud to have one and will send you one from here if your so inclined to get rid of one. I'd appreciate it...d2

d2, Congrat's. Sounds like you have found your Minnie Ball from the Battle of Shiloh thanks to Shiloh. I'm sure this will have special meaning to you coming from the same battlefield where your Grandfather lost his life fighting for the Confederacy.

The first minie ball I ever found was at Shiloh. In 1976 I was 12 years old and in the Boy Scouts. We went on a camping trip to Shiloh and during one of our hikes I found what I thought was a strange rock on the trail. Turns out it was a fired minie ball. I remember showing it to the park ranger in the small museum they had and he told me what it was and showed me some in a display they had there. He said it was a good find, and I must have really good eyes to spot it.

That would of been a really great thing to find "eyeballing". You just never know. Yep, 1976. I'd about say fast forward 42 yrs. 2018, today a Park Ranger would most likely confiscate it, cite the antiquity's act, and send you to juvenile hall.

I would hope 'Today's ' Ranger would be a 'Seasond ' one & have Common sense.

Good Man 'Shiloh'.

Got my Enfield mini ball from Shilo a day or two ago, sorry for the late reply but we buried my mother in law yesterday and will bury my father in law's twin sister tomorrow. We've been humped up like a Halloween cat around here. Thanks to everyone involved...d2
