Good luck Jeff, wishing you the best of luck on your digs, still snow on the ground here in RI, and expecting another 8-12 inches overnight and another big snow on Sunday 😔 I am a surf and underwater hunter but I actually just ordered a Garrett Ace 250 to mess around in my Historic Neighbhood which dates back to 1700's- 1800 and see if I can find some Goodies 😁👍 the ace 250 should arrive this Friday can't wait! Keep us Posted bro!

I would be in that creek all summer with the Pro and a mask.

+1 on that. Some of the best finds over the last few years have been recovered from creeks and rivers shallow enough for the ATP to comfortably handle. I'd get in there before the year gets a lot further along though, copperheads are real bad in that area, and while a bite from them isn't likely to kill an adult it certainly isn't a pleasant experience.

I'd get a quality set of waders and start hitting the creek and it's banks now. A clean water source that close to established lines had to used frequently by the troops.

I am just as excited as you!!! Please don't let this be another one of those posts where we never hear from you again or get updates! I want to see some Rebel Relics!!! Good Luck you Lucky Lucky Lucky Guy! Just remember you can't dangle meat in front of a lion and then say "just kidding!" . We need results! HH and Best of luck!

you have to download them, you can not see any detail if you just click on them and view them in your web browser, also need a good reader to view them once you download them, the default quicktime viewer will not let you enlarge them to see any detail. See my first post in this tread for a link to a free download of a decent jp2 file reader

Marietta is my old stomping grounds....

This book will help you, it's actually a must have for maps:
The Campaign for Atlanta: William R Scaife: 9780961950880: Amazon.com: Books

Combine that book with regimental diaries and you can follow the action, helped me identify some regimental campsites.

Looking forward to some great finds by you Uncle Jeff!

 

[Sharryn]

Can't wait to see the pics of the soon-to-be awesome finds!
