3" HOTCHKISS

Just thought I would post this for one of the guys I hunt with. For years now we have been hunting this house site. It has been good to me, the relics have flowed out of here. There was a camp here that was used by both US. & CS. Now 2014 has took it over. The place has changed in just a few weeks. The old house is gone and the dirt has been moved around. Now we are digging up what we can before the new houses go up. This shell was pulled up a day or two back. It was cool to see it just laying there. The fuse is long gone and the noise blow out but the lead sabot is still on it. We still have relics to dig here and are working the site most every day. It's still putting out, so we just keep going back and getting what we can. Thanks for the look. HH... This is what the place looks like now

Seeing pieces missing from it, makes me feel fortunate not to be on the receiving end of that round.

Hit that spot every free moment you can beg, borrow, or steal my friend. Once they start construction there it's all over, and with the home gone from the location you'll have opportunities you didn't get before where it sat.
