What a poor showing. You could only manage 4? I really am amazed. That is some site you have there . Was it an encampment or was there a skirmish of some sort? Either way, it looks like you have one honey of a spot and judging by the bullets and the plates, a place to dig for a good summer and probably a few years to come.

This was a resting spot for a bunch of NY boys right before they walked in to a well hidden line of VA troops and got there butts waxed!!I am still working the area of the approach... I need to find where the line broke and they hauled butt out of the area... I'm thinking that might produce a lot more relics... ;-) The was an area right above a spring... nothing more then a resting spot...


MM

Have you walked the spring yet? You may find a few good items in and around the old bed. Those poor NY boys...they may have been my neighbors!

Oh yeah!! and I have banged up ankles to prove it!!but nothing in the stream bed. How close are you to Medina, Orleans County, NY?? at least one of them was from there... and honestly.. all the guys they were sneaking up on.. were my neighbors ;-)

Hmmmm, Medina? That's about an hour from me. He was pretty close. So I have to stand up and say.......Nice finds!
Did you find this spot out by reading town records or stumble across some family history? Don't need the specifics, jusst interesting to know how the line of history goes when you find these types of "minor spots". Once again, those plates are nice...glad you could recover them.

The onlybad thing about finding such nice stuff is that everything else might seem like fishing for Bluegill in the Pacific Ocean! Killer finds guys and thanks for sharing!

Monkeyboy you are very lucky to have a spot like that to dig. I know where all the action from the war took place around my area. Only problem is either the government owns the land or the private owner knows that there was activity there and wants to keep folks out of the property. I am stuck with this situation right now. Its like knowing there is a treasure chest buried at spot X, but you can't get to spot X because it is surrounded by water. You keep pounding that site. I bet you can save some more relics out of that place. Saving the past is better than letting it rot away in the ground.

Awesome finds. I wonder if any of my ancestors were on the Virginia side. All of my ancestors fought for Virginia and I have never made it up there to do any hunting yet. Keep us posted. I love to see CW finds on here.
