My finds from a short hunt this weekend. My favorite find is the 5.5" howitzer shell frag. If you follow me you know I've found 5 complete shells so it's interesting to find an exploded one at this site. I can't imagine being hit by something like that! The site was the home of a Rev War general & also had multiple patriot encampments during the war. Another cool find is the piece of an 18th century clasp knife. It is a near perfect match to the one in "Sketch Book 76" that was found at Valley Forge. Mine was found within a few feet of the 2 firepits we located. It was right on top of the ground. It just goes to show you that there are some nice relics in the nail range (although I would have to dig thousands of nails at this site to find anything). I also found a couple buttons, a broken arrowhead & a plantation hoe that's in great shape. Any day I can find something from the Revolutionary War is a great day in my mind! Thanks for looking & HH!
