Battle of Medina... we keep tryin'
I thought some of y'all might like to be notified with an FYI for those interested... Dan Arrellano is setting up another day hunt trying to locate the battle site. Here's an e-mail he sent out this weekend; I'll probably see you there, maybe this time "todays the day"! Larry/Pushback

The Battle of Medina, the Search Continues
BE PART OF HISTORY !
On October 15, 2011 a search will be conducted on a ranch south of Losoya where it is believed the battle occurred. According to the owner muskets and cannon balls were found while buildings were being constructed. She believes these artifacts were donated to a museum, but does not recall which one.
Volunteers wishing to participate must sign a hold harmless agreement. You are also asked to bring your own water and lunch. Please bring your metal detectors and shovels. This is not a finders keepers event; all artifacts will be photographed and cataloged. In order to participate you must RSVP by that weekend. We will depart from the Shell-McDonalds on Hi 281(Roosevelt Rd) and 1604 at 8 AM Saturday Oct 15, 2011.
When found this will be the biggest archaeological find ever in Texas.
