An original civil war photo, showing yankee General Franklin's pontoon-bridge across the Rappahannock River, into eastern Spotsylvania County Virginia, as part of the 1862 Battle of Fredericksburg. The southern wing of Gen. Burnside's army crossed over by Franklin's bridges, and assembled on the ridge-sheltered field atop the very high riverbank. This photo has special meaning to me because I used to live in a small subdivision which was built on part of that field. Some of it was still a field when I lived there. Of course I hunted it. When the field was sold for development and the huge skip-panner machines scraped off the top 8 inches of soil, it was an absolute bonanza for us relic-hunters. Quantity-wise, that was the best digging day for "quantity" I ever had. Found nearly 300 dropped yankee Minie-bullets, all one-at-a-time, and some eagle-buttons and other small equipment-parts. Nothing spectacular except the quantity.

An original civil war photo showing the infamous 13-inch caliber mortar nicknamed "The Dictator" by its yankee owners at the Siege of Petersburg Virginia, late-summer 1864 through April 1865. One of its crew is sitting on some of its 13-inch mortarball ammo. Click on the photo and then click again, for additional enlargement.

No longer a need to pillage and plunder when you've got a buddy in the business. Just don't get so nippy that you walk the plank.
