Some pics of a hunt last spring!..........

[Mike from MI "Iron Brigade"]

This was one of them Civil War hunts that I attended. Sometimes we dig BIG holes!

This was a soldiers hut right behind a fort.

Getting deeper! These huts can produce tons of great relics! Notice all the orange bricks in the dirt!

Finally! A beautiful brick from the original fort, and a cannon ball! Actually the ball is the core of a softball that I found near the river. I covered it with dirt and fooled many people that weekend!

This particular hole did not produce what I tought it might! I did dig about 150 bricks, some colonial glass, a beaver tooth, some colonial buckles and some odds and ends. But I sure had fun, and got a great work out!
