NEW DIG AT CONFEDERATE GENERAL'S HOME

3/3/2015

0 Comments

 
Photos of my first day's dig at a new site. The photos should speak for themselves. It looks we will be digging here all through the fall, winter and spring as there are numerous scattered sites on this virgin location. The relics you see in these photos are all coming from the floor of a collapsed and rotted away slave cabin.  After the civil war the cabin was used as a storage area. I found a great quantity of relics all dating at exactly 1900. At least 100 various bottles, etc. Once I began digging deeper I got into solid civil war relics. The house we are digging behind was built over a 20 year time period, from 1795 o 1815---- and I am also finding relics from that era. I am only sending a few photos of what was found on the first day. It is an incredible place and what is yet to be found in the privies, other slave cabin sites and so much more should prove to be quite rich. I will keep you posted..
 
    006----------One of the numerous untouched buildings on the site still loaded down with civil war era relics
    017---------just a sampling of what is there. Most of the chests have not been opened.
    045--------Alan digging at our first site on the property, the slave quarters.
    043--------One of my finds about midway into the day, US eagle belt plate; looks to be an Allegheny Arsenal mfg., early war; Alan states that it had to have belonged to Col. John Holloway.
    042---------No Sweat with freshly recovered eagle plate.
