Finally was able to locate a Cannon Pit with stonewall/brick (most of the brick with "Savage" on them) This was deep into the swamp edge which is a 2 hour hike mostly in swamp land, only accessible in winter, or by boat which you must go into creeks then into the swamp about 50 yards. There was plenty of iron parts laying around and the wall foundation is falling apart from 150 years, I also found possible ship debris about 15 yards from the pit. This was a area the union put prisoners,etc in.
I have created a page to show the finds with pictures and video from the site itself.
the page is http://www.facebook.com/CannonPit
I could use help IDing some of this stuff, i have never seen any iron cannon parts or even begin to ID the large debris that looks like it was off a boat/ship.
Also the only reason i knew this was back there because the property owner who is 85 years old told me in the 70s he had it surveyed and was told about a possible cannon pit, so I decided too spend 3 days looking for it in the swamp and creek.
