Cold Harbor site continues to produce in an artillery sort of way!!

[diggervet]

The site I have mentioned several times on this forum continues to produce CW items. It must have been a horrific place to be during the battle as evidenced by the fact that my son Mitch and I have found over 150 bullets and various iron balls we assume are from canister or grapeshot. Today however I found a new item, the half of an artillery hat insignia complete with the hooks on the back! I was not expecting this since the signal was very shallow and loud. I only had to scrape away 2-3 inches of dirt and it rolled out as you see it! I immediately called Mitch over and we were both very excited about the find. I will never assume any site is hunted out and I hope I will continue to have more items from this incredible site. Thanks for looking and HH!

Nice finds! Too bad about the crossed cannons. I remember Cold Harbor being mentioned in many battles during the CW war. Good luck and I hope you find some camp sites and huts to dig. HH, Mike
