Well I was visiting a family friends property that once was a hospital in the civil war. The house was built in 1850 by master carpenters from Virginia. THere was two barns on the property and one of them had fell in but in this old barn was a casket but the barn is gone and only the casket is to be found. When I walked up on this I was shocked. I thought did someone come to the cemetary on the property and dig this up. But I talked to the owner of the property and he said it was in the barn back in the 1940s . He said it was olive green back then but Man it was kinda creepy but I had to look it over. People from all over has visited this property and so i never did find anything while using the metal detector. The ground was so hard I almost broke a shovel trying to dig when I did come across something. I plan to go back soon but wanted to share some pictures. I have no idea how old this is but would really like to learn . I know the owner would let me have it if I wanted it but Its to creepy to keep something like this. I would rather leave it in the woods. The house in in North Ga and the union came in and took over the place when sherman came through. There are several rooms in the house that has not had one thing done to it since the day union took over. The house is incredible. 14ft ceilings and two stories tall and its what you would expect a house to be back then. The union came in and busted out the ceilings in several of the rooms . They thought by doing this the rooms would be cooler in the summer months and there are signatures all over the walls. My friend still has original furniture from the house and the craftsman ship it priceless. There is a lot more to the house I didnt mention but I wanted to share a few pictures of what I found on the property.
a coffin would have 6 handles, 3 each side.
