OMG OMG OMG OMG ..... I have spent the last few hours looking at these Gilmer maps of my area. A lot of the names of places have changed. But OMG I live 2 houses away from Confederate entrenchments from the battle of June 1864.. I knew I lived close to civil war areas but I had no idea I was this close... and here I been hunting all over town for good places to detect... GET WARM OUTSIDE NOW PLEASE.. I do not want to wait till Thursday.. ohh this is going to be fun.. I don't even need to pack my gear.. and if I get hungry or thirsty on this hunt I will just walk back a couple of houses to my own place..

Thank you so much for the info on these Gilmer maps
I did have to download a decent reader for the jp2 files

Fingers crossed for a CSA belt buckle or 2 or 3 .. LOL

Hey Uncle Jeff. I sure wouldn't want you to get excited! :blob7: LOL Hope your dreams are fulfilled many times over. Sounds like you are definitely in the right place at the right time! Let us know how it goes.
 

Best of luck, Dude!!!
 

If you're two houses away from an encampment, (read 'EASY WALKING DISTANCE'!) there's nothing to say you can't find good stuff in your own yard!
 

Do you need help digging?

My yard is really really weird on the finds. and my house is only 15 years old .. was vacant before that. my back yard is close to 115 feet deep.. 15 feet of grass then a steep 6 foot drop off and another 100 feet of woods with a creek in it ... I have found nothing in the woods but an old bottle and metal lid, but my 15 feet of grass is full of spent lead bullets (I have not found any civil war bullets yet.. but I kind of gave up looking after about 20 or 30 bullets) Hmmmm .. can you say new video idea.. Its a really strange location.. Only thing I could think of was someone.. er lots of people were using my 6 foot drop off as a back stop at a target range of some kind (due to the massive variety).
 

Good luck, hope you can get out soon!
 

HI Uncle Jeff; Best Wishes. I move in next week ok. Waiting for the pics. Go get them. PEACE:RONB

See the BOLD DARK lines around 1864, those are the civil war entrenchments around my area for 1864. Then see the red dot? That is my house. Just 2 houses away OMG OMG OMG OMG ..

OMG.webp
 

after many many bullets you should find one goodie : going hunting close to home saves gasoline
 

Congrats on finding the spot so close to home, talk about a dream come true! I hope you get some sleep between now and the next warm up! Hope you get your CSA buckle. GL. HH!

Congrats and keep us informed of your progress.
