Artillery finds....Nashville,Tn.

[Jpro]

I have hunted this location pretty hard, and it's been productive for me, but it is large and I haven't been up close to the house.
This weekend I got up close to the foundation and dug these hotchkiss shell frags. Lucky to get the fuse on one. Not much of the shell body but nice base cups and sabots. All from Battle of Nashville 1864, as the union forces were firing into the confederate line.
