Hit the old fort with some fellow T-Netters. Jimmy took us out but couldn’t stay. My goal of the day was one of those awesome buttons being that’s it is something other than a chicken button and I hadn’t found one yet. Boom first hole dug was indeed what I went for. It’s still getting some TLC for its future shadow box. The day started with heavy rain at 42 degrees and before we knew it we were hunting in 2 inch mud and a flash snow storm. We held through and the stuff stopped. The ground stayed wet but at least we weren’t! The first 3 hours was pretty rough. We looked at the terrain and I thought, where would I set up targets if I were stationed here 170 years ago? So I went over to where I would have done it and the buffet was open for business! I can’t find my calipers because my daughter thinks they’re cool :BangHead: But I may have found some Confederate ringtale sharps from the brief Confederate occupancy of the fort. Overall a great day, got to dig some firsts. Also, there is a solid base biggun next to the ringtail, any help on ID would be great. Thanks again to Jimzz for the permission.

Thanks! It’s slim pickings on sites down here for anything CW era, what is here is usually protected national park etc.... So when we get a chance to pull any CW stuff we jump on it!
