A Little Civil War History Saved & A Pewter Play Cup
My buddy Chris & I went to a field adjoining a Civil War camp yesterday to try to save a little history. The field is loaded with aluminum. Whoever plowed it 20 years ago was drinking beer on the tractor... We found a small pocket of relics in the field. I found 2 bullets & piece of knapsack hook. Chris had better luck & pulled 6 or 7 bullets. We were planning to go to another site after lunch with some exciting history but got stood unfortunately... I also found a pewter child's toy cup & a piece of saddle hardware. It was a tough day but managed to save a little history! This is a great site in the fact we know who was there & the exact day in 1865.![ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1480899708.669804.jpg ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1480899708.669804.jpg](https://www.treasurenet.com/data/attachments/1267/1267555-8e5fc7495f58782f0154c606a80b69d0.jpg)
