I went back up the creek today looking for the militia camp...no luck but I think I'm getting closer. Musket balls and a mystery trinket. Biggest musket ball I've ever found!

At least you're digging a few targets and crossing off where it's not off the list. What period is this camp?

Hmmm... you would think that wouldn't be too bad to locate. Was there any/many structures? Or just a training ground with nothing? If it lasted a while there would definitely be some iron to find. Aerial shots don't offer anything? Some old ones might be the ticket.

Could that be Grape Shot? Looks like your getting close :icon_thumleft:

No structures...just training ground. The aerials are no help and the old guy I talked to couldn't remember which creek it was but he narrowed it down to two. I'm not even sure what I can find there but the grounds were supposedly used for close to 50 years so there must be a few buttons and a plate or two!
 
as always love the lead... the mystery item looks familiar but not sure.. I'm getting out real soon!
 
Almost time to start planning those vacations you two! We're on a mission to clean this place out. :laughing7:
