What a beautiful day in VA after 4 day of rain. Found led of all sizes, a canteen stopper or whats left of it. A small grommet, iron pack buckle, a Iron what is it? and my first Henry repeater casing and the stem of a cleaner II or III.

Have a great day !

Nice Finds Hutch. Good variety of bullets including 2 .44 cal. CW New Army Colt pistol bullets. I found my first Henry cartridge last year as Dman and I hunted a U.S. Camp on Monteagle Mountain, TN. We don't see many of them in Northern Middle Tennessee. HH.

Cool Stuff. Do you know any of the guys at the firehouse? A fellow got transfered from Catlett a while back and I dug with him quite a bit. Just wondering if you might know him

No I don't know anyone from the firehouse but if I was him I would be digging all around the building LOL.

wow they camped near your fire house too

? The soldiers must have camped around the fire houses and airports as there are camps at the Catlett & Marshall firehouses and camps at Stafford, Culpeper, Midland & Dulles airports and that's just the ones I can think of right off the bat :tongue3:

. By the way I live in Catlett. SO STAY AWAY!!!!!! :laughing9:

cool finds, you're right about the rain, it's been miserable and it's nice to finally see the sun again.

Humm Catlett I just might make my way there

I have not had a chance to dig down that way but maybe one day. here is a picture that shows the whole town filled with troops resupplying from the train station.

vayank54 · Nov 16, 2009

That's not really Catlett in that picture. There were never any troops in Catlett, not one. ha ha Actually it was pretty much one big camp because of the railroad, rt 28, and cedar run. There was also a prison camp between Catlett and Calverton but that has been built on :'(

I was raised up around here and have pounding the area for 40 years and still find a few things

The picture is The Plains or White Plains back then.

Well I told you it wasn't Catlett !!!! :tongue3:

Guess I had better pay closer attention hadn't I? Sorry about that, I was trying to do more things than my mind is capable of handling, meaning 2, at one time.
