Thanks PW.
It was Supper Time when the wife helped me transfer the Pic's, So here is a little more info on the Box Plate.
I need to get better on my Local CW history & fig, out Exactly who was where.
To the best of my knowledge It came from an area where the Union was making it's way to Kennessaw Mt. / Cheetham Hill busting their way through the MANY Confederate Lines /trenches.
Found a few fired bullets & some nice Drops as well, I know that I got a couple Enfield's From that area back in Jan .
Also got at least 2 Type -3 Williams Cleaners & along with a few diff, types of 3 ringers.
So I,m thinking Battle/ Skirmish area.
The area is Surrounded by Residential development (like 95% of the CW sites in my area) & has been hunted for many years.
The Box plate was found in a low lying area next to a creek that has stayed pretty wet at the 12+ inches it was at for the past 150+ years & when I dug it that hole area was pure Muck! I sank up to my knees in a couple areas & glad I threw my Rubber wet boots in the Car. Cause I might not have found it ; Was using my XLT in the first couple hours of the hunt but was also wearing my new Boots & each one was Caked with mud & about twice its size.
Went to the car to leave having only found 1 Dropped 3 ringer & much trash pulled my wet boots off & went to put them in the trunk and seen my big Rubber Boots & kinda thought to myself ?-Stay here or go somewhere else , thought heck I'm here , then put on the boots Grabbed the Tejon & hit many of the Wettest areas that I had not covered that well. Glad I stayed cause along with the plate I got 6-7 more Minnies.
I was a mud covered pig when I left but a happy one. LOL
Sorry for the long reply but once I get started ..............
GL PW. love the Tejon , Hence the Pic, with it.
