Rev War Battle Saves--Just Beat The Dozer

[JBnNC]

A couple of years ago I received permission to detect a property about 150 yards outside of a Rev. War Battleground Park. Maps clearly showed that the American/British battle lines extended to this area. I knew from talking to the local "old-timers" that a lot of musket balls, a British button, and a complete flintlock lockplate had been found in this small patch of woods in years past.
I found around 50 or so musket balls before it seemed to have dried up.
Fast forward til today.....the city has taken the land and is building a road right through the property. The trees and stumps have been removed at a rapid pace. A few relic hunters have been back and I'm hearing that they have all found musket balls. I have spent several hours there, concentrating in the areas that were previously productive, and have found eight additional balls. The bulldozers have brought a few relics to the surface but I know that this site will be done in a couple of days.....going to miss it.

Awesome saves. What's up with that little pistol. That is super cool, and you didn't even mention it.

Hi; Great job on the saves. Gee, I wonder why there arre no Archies perusing the area ?? We find more stuff than the Archies ever dreamed of finding but they have the Political pull power. I'm glad you beat them to it. PEACE:RONB

I did find the little pistol at the site, and was very excited, but when the "made in Hong Kong" appeared I knew it was just a toy.

Again, the little flintlock is just a toy, but since it came from the site and looks cool its staying in the display. I've been waiting for just one button, I don't care if its British or USA.

All in the name of progress ? Good thing you got there first. They will leave no piece of dirt undeveloped. Great finds, and nice you were able to preserve a little piece of history.
