Marietta is my old stomping grounds....

This book will help you, it's actually a must have for maps:
The Campaign for Atlanta: William R Scaife: 9780961950880: Amazon.com: Books

Combine that book with regimental diaries and you can follow the action, helped me identify some regimental campsites.

Yummies, I love civil war books ... found a copy on ebay for $24 should be here in a couple days. Thanks for the heads up

Hey Uncle Jeff just caught your thread.
A little research goes a long way & glad to see it has worked out well in your case.

Maybe those Horseshoes brought you luck. LOL

I wish you buckets of Minies , a pouch full of Buttons & a Case full of Plates.

I also look forward to the next F.O M . Meeting , So I can drool over your finds.

Best of luck
Davers

You got a good deal on that book, it can be hard to find at a reasonable price. I've got two copies myself, one to keep pristine and the other to use for research, copying/scanning, etc. Well worth the investment, especially given where you're located at.

Use it in good health, and HH.

Just an update, Yesterdays high was in the 30's, and to days high although suppose to be in the lower 60's was just above 40 ...I am to skinny to survive that type of hunt. I would freeze in about 15 mins....Ordered some nice magnets to try and "fish" some cannon balls out of the creek

Hello Uncle Jeff !
We are all really nice people here on the TN forum and would never want to impose on anyone! That is why I have decided we should all pitch our tents out of site below the aforementioned 6' drop behind your house, out of respect for your privacy. Sounds good huh?

IMO -You are a Super Patient Guy

I likely would already have "Ninja /Frog-maned my butt to the site by now..LOL

Don't worry tho the relics "if there" will wait for you.
The Weather might work for you this weekend .
Good Luck
Davers
