I've been detecting for a few hours on what was a Confederate encampment (short-term). Is there a way to estimate the size of a camp for a given number of soldiers? I'm told it's between 2000-3000 soldiers that stayed there.
Of course, I was picturing open fields like where I was standing but need to consider it was forested at the time. It's incredible to picture it in my mind - 2500+/- soldiers, tents, campfires, lanterns, horses, etc.
