Civil War at Fort Hill

[Civil War Nut]

Hidy to all . Had to go somewhere else Sat . The first picture will show why , it is one of the same pictures I put on here a few days ago of one of my hunting fields . Fort Hill is in Humboldt Ten . where Forrest made one of his raids . It is a cotton field that just got sprayed , wasnt no fun there . Burns your eyes and mouth . So this is all , top row I have no idea . next , .52 cal. minnie ,, .54 cal. minnie ,, .69 cal. ball ,, button ,, back of a button ,, tip of a cartridge box or tip of bayonet scalbert ,, rim fire shells .52 cal or .54 cal. ,, napsack hook could be Confederate cause my book shows union has a small ring close to the end ,, buttons ,, box car seal . and thats it for the cotton patch . Man was I ready to leave that place . Hope yall enjoy and happy hunting to all . By the way , I was trying my new toy or back up for the V-3 there too . Works just fine , Love the new analyzer on Hi Pro.

I was in Memphis from April 29 thru May 2 and couldn't believe all of the flooding down there. I hope the water has receded some now!

Congratulations on the very interesting finds!

Hidy TTC. You should have went over to the West side and done some MD. Dt. It is covered up with Union Civil War stuff . I think there were about 40,ooo that camp there that I have read about . Not to say N. B. Forrest had a slave camp there also .

Great collection of relics from that hunt. But that place looks like a lake Can't figure out what that lead piece is on the upper left Be careful with the chemicals though, the relics have been there for a 150 years, they can wait a couple more weeks lol

Dont know what that was eather Cnut , But its been in the groung for a long time to be that white . And I dont think I want no more cotton fields . Just cant get around stuff ( the spray ) like that . It got to me when we were farming one too many times . Good luck old man and H. H.

Wonering if it was made into a huge piece for a chess set. Almost looks like the horse (Knight). Either way it's lead, and it's old, and it's yours thumbsup01

Hidy Heavy. I hunted a field this spring , that the farmers pushed off an OLD garve yard at the time I didnt know it . I started finding very white bones and then two that looked like the large bones in the foot . I didnt hang around there no longer , I ant went back eather . Good luck to all of yall .

I found 5 of those knapsack hooks yesterday and they look almost identical to yours. Mine are definitely Union Cavalry found near a Fort in Wyoming.

[Civil War Nut]

Hidy 33 . Yep thats what yours is . The Union has a small inset ring on the end of them . Have a good day and good luck .
