I had a great time in VA saving some Civil War history! This was a 3 day adventure at a very historic site. I thought the small silver (or white gold) ring was really neat, I would love to know the story behind it. The weather was great as well as the company. I found a nice assortment of bullets & other relics as well. Can't wait to do it again! Thanks for looking & happy hunting!

Excellent hunt. That's far more three ringers than I've ever found in total.

Very nice. To be able to fill a case with relics because of one 3 day outing, is a great outing.

Man you spent your time wisely. That is an amazing haul for 3 days in an area from which you are not a local.

Looks like you had a good time Josh. Did you try and locate any huts or pits? A boatload of bottles have come from that site.

I didn't spend a lot of time looking for huts, there were some nice bottles to come out. My buddy located one & found a smashed aluminum can at the bottom, it had already been dug.
