civil war

I am looking at Civil War maps for troop movements, battle areas, camp sites. On the civil war maps my main key for locating on a modern map are creeks. But in this one case the difference in a confluence of one smaller creek to a larger creek on the civil war map is about a mile west of the...

this is a very graphic description of what really happened after major civil war battlefields. https://www.c-span.org/video/?158936-1/a-strange-blighted-land-gettysburg-aftermath-battle&fbclid=IwAR3uNvFmK6tmx6XWYr-bMOll7i97EuDupUzJAic1XyojGNvhOM4ck5B8UB8 Shows the horrors of the Civil War and...

found this nail. cleaned off very thick coating of rust with brass brush. It was found in an area where I found two other civil war relics, a flat button and carved bullet. I can tell the point of the nail was hammered flat. Just wonder why small nail would have such a large head. any ideas...

I live on a civil war site in Fairfax, Va. My soil is dense clay and I’m lucky to get 8” with the stock AT Pro coil. Should I get a new coil for my AT Pro or will something like the equinox 600 be better? (If new coil then which one?) Thanks

just received yesterday the short book "Finding Civil War Campsites in Rural Areas". In respect to its reporting of Internet resources, it is almost 100% out of date. Almost every Internet tool, map or resource they reference is either not available any more or they charge money for their...

After some research hunted an area in Atlanta near a CW encampment. Got the info on the camp from a guy who said his neighbor used to hunt that area in the 70's and found lots of CW bullets and other relics. Plus on a 1864 map of the Union and Confederate army positions there was a division...

I am doing research on current locations of civil war union and confederate army positions in the battle of Atlanta. My question when a division was located at encampments, battles or creek or river crossings about home much area on the ground would they occupy. Same question for an Army Corp or...

Looking for anyone who has hunted Civil War locations in the 70’s, 80’ & 90’s in Dekalb county, Georgia that might wish to share locations and help me out. I am looking for Civil War camp sites, river or stream crossing or skirmishes that happened in Dekalb county in Metro Atlanta, Georgia. Or...

I live in north Atlanta. Sherman brought his boys down to Atlanta from Chattanooga in 1864. Came down on a route which is now basically I-75 from Chattanooga to Atlanta. He had a number of pretty intense battles before he crossed the Chattahoochee river for the final bloody campaign for the...

Hi Everyone, My name is Nick, and I am currently Active Duty Air Force stationed in Jacksonville, FL. I will be PCSing to Savannah, Georgia in a couple of weeks and am looking to get involved with the relic-hunting community there. I have been swingin' an old White's Blue & Gray since I was a...

Can anyone provided some Equinox TID numbers on various Civil War Relics you have found? Also the depths that you recovered them from? I am starting to hunt Civil War battle and camp ground sites here in Georgia. Much appreciated.

I am hunting a creek that has about 12 foot banks and floods almost every other year. It runs through an area where there was a major civil war battle, but not a national or regional battlefield. I am looking for Civil War bullets. on the curve in the bank, should I hunt the outside rim of the...

I have been hunting along a river and several creek in an intense and very major CW battle area and have never found any relics in the flood plains. (no it is not in any protected federal or state park). these rivers and creeks have a flood about every two years. so calculating back from 1864...

I have hunted multiple civil war sites around Atlanta this year. One area around Peachtree creek and one on the Chattahoochee river banks. Both areas are in flood plains. Both are well documented civil war sites. One a major battle and one a staging area for the Union Army. I am not having...

Ok, I have an area on the Chattahoochee river in north Atlanta where there was a small skirmish between a confederate cavalry battalion was defending a bridge attacked by a Union cavalry regiment and the battle lasted all day. ok, where to hunt. the confederates where on the south side of the...

I live in North Atlanta and there are civil war sites in and around Atlanta especially west and north west in Cobb county. But, and this is a big but, commercial development and new neighborhoods have really limited where you can hunt without private permissions. So what do other civil war...

atlanta has been and is growing very fast. a study several years ago predicted based on current growth rates will be one of the largest cities in the US. Why? it has no natural boundaries like older US cities. Most older cities are on the coast so they can only grow in 3 directions. They...
