Civil War finds

[MichaelB]

Sometimes, lots of research, studying maps anf some common sense on where I would go if I was in the march to a site pays off. In my case, 1 in a hundred times. I found all of these within a 20 foot circle. I think it is a canister shot which would explain the pattern that I found them in. I need to treat these with something as I was close to the Bay and you can see the effect of salt water from storms.

Nice pieces of history there Mike!
I can't imagine getting hit by one of those, let alone 3 or 4.
Research pays off!

Civil is right a little time in the tank and they will look great, nice find and research!

I have never had to treat any of my finds. Is there a written procedure somewhere that everyone uses?

Many Thanks.
