Not bad for the last five days

Been doing some detecting at the county fair grounds. The fair dates back to 1851 and an Illinois Regiment trained on these grounds for the Civil War. Have yet to find anything that directly relates to the regiment that trained here but after this nice rain we are having over night I'm hoping to find some deeper targets in the morning.

Just thought I'd share a few pictures of my finds and included one if the grounds. Thanks for taking a look.

Almost forgot...from what I have been told from different people over the years is that the picture of the small white buildingin is one if the original barracks.

Hey nice finds Bosco! This is exactly the kind of place that I search for. Hope it produces much much more for you!!! Welcome to the IL page and keep posting the finds. Love that you posted a little about the history of your location. Thats why I got into this hobby, to connect to the past.

Cheers!
