Thanks Mr. Vol there is a camp here in Stafford known as "The Shaler camp" can you say dug out 99.9%? on the ground that is! Lots of huts and trash pits remaining. This the same camp where D.P. Newton (Who owns White Oak Museum in Stafford) found his VSS buckle many many years ago! You should come take a trip here too Stafford one weekend with the crew and let me show you around the Museum and a few camps! - Hut

We may just take you up on that as your finds are impressive from a very historic site. I have never hunted that area. HH, Quindy.

Congrats on the pit finds. Shalers are tough to find. I hope you get into some glass, civil war era glass is my favorite thing to find
