Relics dug around amazing earthworks

[BenVa68]

I found the most amazing earthworks I’ve ever seen out in a patch of woods in an urban area. They were about 7’ tall in most places with the dugout for a big magazine still there, ramps leading up to artillery platforms, trenches dug all around them with smaller earthworks in front. I was amazed that they are still there intact and unprotected. I did take some pictures but they really don’t do them justice. It was obvious that I wasn’t the first one to find them and they have probably been hunted for years but I still managed to find a few relics.

A friend of mine used to live in VA 35 years ago and described hunting the same kind of earthworks. Over a few months he ended up with several hundred minie balls and various other items. Keep on hitting it!
