Popular Post L David Keith Posted June 23 Popular Post Share Posted June 23 Another "hunted out site" that I myself said I'd never return to but then I did when the Minelab Sovereign became a reality. My friend dug six US plates and 3 1830 artillery buttons. I recovered a number of bullets and other smalls but the belt plates and Drummer's plate (missing the drum stick holders) were my focus. Iron was so thick you couldn't use a shovel (square nails mixed with larger iron); trowels were the tool of choice. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCR Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 Outstanding. I often wonder how so much, that was still useful, got lost or discarded. I know War is messy and expeditious but it worked out in our favor for relics. We’re some of these found at your Nashville dump site? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L David Keith Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 JCR, none of these came from Nashville. They are from a post battle of Murfreesboro (Stones River) hospital site. Long gone now due to a bypass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
