Nice finds!

I often wish I were closer to a Civil War site. Was thinking of driving to Virginia to go relic hunting, but I wouldn't know where to go.

I would say you could go and pick about any field and with some patience find some CW stuff, especially if you are near the original roads and water sources. Good luck! Tsgman

Toe plates, they went on the sole of the shoe. It was to help keep holes from wearing into the sole. If you look closely on the front edge they have dates stamped into them. Tsgman

Nice relics Tsgman. Are still hunting that same campsite?

You know we kinda rotate around several sites. We found a few places last winter by scouting new places the first half of the day and working our exsisting sites the last part of the day. Usually we can rotate from one to another, this serves a couple purposes in that we don't wear out our welcome at any one spot and can keep looking at different areas.

These finds are from the camp we discovered last Nov. I dug 3 US buckles and the last count was around 800 to 900 bullets from this site. Funny thing was we drove past this spot a couple times because we found zero water anywhere that the troops would of had to have so we kinda wrote it off. One day we were driving by it and saw a old guy so we stopped to talk to him. He said yes there used to be old spring in the field but a old house was built on top of it! Bingo now we thought it had some possibilites, we got permisson to hunt the field and in about a hour or so covering the 40 some acres we hit the main part of the camp.

So I guess the lesson I learned is you can never discount a spot because so much can change after a 145 years. Happy hunting Tsgman

Which one of their forums did you try it on? Did they have some kind of a limit on photo size or something?
