2 Much Trash
Well-known member
I've been hunting this little area hot and heavy the last 3 years. It's been hunted hot and heavy since the fifties. Still, I've been able dig alot of relics here. But each month there's a little less area to hunt, a little less area to walk over with the detector. I've watched dump truck loads of fill dirt brought in and spread. I've watched storage units being built , trees by the dozens cut and hauled away, tons of gravel brought in for storage of heavy equipment, and hundreds of square feet of asphalt being laid. What's left now is not much more than my front and back yard. Each area that is left, I was told by the property owner, who by the way is a heck of a good guy, will be under gravel or asphalt within the next 2 months, maybe 3. You can't fight progress and the need to make a living. Ya know how you feel at the end of a long day of relic hunting and it's time to head back to the truck, how you concentrate a little harder, listen a little closer and dam!!! near dig every halfway good tone hoping for anything that's civil war. Well that's how I feel at this spot. I feel a little sad. Not for me, but for the soldiers North & South that fought and died here, believe me from what I've found, must have been plenty. But anyway, these relics were found in about a 50 square foot area just hunkering down and concentrating. Not much I know, but I'm in that last 30 minute mode or mood, whatever. Can't imagine what's gonna be left under the gravel and asphalt once it's over. Once folks start driving in this area and going about their daily routine won't have any idea what happened here. And if they knew, it probably wouldn't be that big of a deal. Most people now are too far removed from that part of our history for it to be a big deal. Most but not all. Happy diggin' guys and may the tone be with you.
