Default Latest Resaca,Ga C.W. finds.
Here are some of my latest finds from last weekend and yesterday. I thought I had me my first complete Spencer cartridge until it came out of the ground. I believe it was whole but broke when I was digging it out. Man it was muddy out there, and all the lead targets were deep as heck. Glad I put my Super 12 on before I left. The iron spike is listed in Crouch's Civil War Artifacts book on page 59. I believe it was probably used as a tent stake. Thanks for looking and Happy New Year.
Jonathon

When I was a Boy Scout, we went there and just as we went over the (funny name) River, we camped on the right side and found some CSA things. Back then I did not know or have a MD. The relics were on top of the soil in the fields then (1955), but I hunt for coins mainly now. Good finds. :>)

J - Some neat finds all right ! Whole cartridges really are neat to dig. Out west in AZ here we have a trade off. There's great conditioned relice coming out of the ground due to lack of rain. But, there's not a whole lot of sites and goodies. Don't know which is better.

Keep at it, Steve in so az

Yeah, I put them in the electrolysis tank for a little while. After that, I put a coat of ebony Bri-wax on them to seal them from any moisture getting in,Jonathon.
