Hi everyone first post here. ![hello :hello: :hello:](https://www.treasurenet.com/smilies/hello.gif)
I've never done any treasure hunting, but I'm a huge history fan and was
wondering how far Civil War artifacts are usually embedded in the ground.
I hear about people finding minie balls accidentally after heavy rains so if I look up some
encampments that haven't been picked over yet do you guys think there
would be cartridges,buttons, etc near or at the surface?
Are my chances much better than people who randomly come across stuff?
Anyone know of some good places to look in the Carolinas?
I'm not looking for anything spectacular and I plan to visit some battlefields soon anyway.
My area probably has better Revolutionary War finds (I live pretty close to Cowpens and a town over from Kings Mountain.)
But I would assume you need equipment (or insane luck) to find Rev period artifacts?
Could anyone recommend a site that has info on Civil War encampments in NC/SC?
I couldn't really find anything.
I know a lot of this comes down to research and luck, I'm just
ignorant of how you guys actually go about finding stuff. Thanks!
