hello all, a friend and I hit an old area today that was used as a confederate artillery area and camp area as well, it was late in the afternoon and the sun was going down but we scouted and detected for a few, he found an old cast iron, Iron and a very cool old medicine bottle, I found this fork at 6 inches, the wooden handle long gone, this area looks very promising for civil war relics and the like....anyone know anything about forks?....all I know is it is old

I believe most Civil War era forks had 3 tines on them. I'm not sure about any with 4 tines but I am NOT and expert by any means. Just posting what I know on the subject. Keep looking there should be more things in the area.
