I dug these artillery artifacts near Jeffersonton Virginia, in an organized relic hunt called Diggin' In Virginia. Over a three day period, I dug Yankee case shot, Hotchkiss and misc. fragments, Confederate case shot, and underplugs to a 12 lb. shell. These are my first artillery relics.
But first, here is where I was digging at.
This is the hill where I dug 90% of my relics.
The Yankee's were on the opposing hill, firing their artillery into the hill I was standing on, and farther behind me. Yankee cavalry and infantry took potshots from across the Rappahannock river as well.
