Civil War Relic Hunting in Georgia

[relicking]

Would like to meet someone to go Civil War Relic hunting with. I live near Athens, Ga. ( unfortunately no battles or camps near) but "have detector-can travel" . I dug a lot in the 70/80's and have a nice collection but want to add to it. Please let me know if you are interested in hunting together. Thanks, Jim

I just moved to Marietta. I've done lots of other types of hunting (fossils, Native American artifacts, colonial shipwrecks, rev war era houses, etc), but this area is so rich in Civil War history that I've settled on starting for that now. A cannonball is my #1 for the next four years. I'll PM you my email! -T

I withdraw information until I decide to become a Charter. Sorry about that. How many other TH'ers give away locations?

Available at Kellyco Metal Detectors is my field manual called Forts, Camps & Batteries of Georgia, over 400 sites some known, some National Parks and some unknowns waiting for a finder. Good Luck!

Ack $15.95 for a book with zero description? no total pages.. no color black and white.. no listing of how many pictures or maps ...

Not to mention only Charter members may advertise/sell things here (since you wrote this book).. kind of crossing the line ....
Spend the 20 bucks, become a charter member than advertise your book all you want in the classified section

There is a book by the late William R. Scaife of Acworth. Bill used to come to all the civil war shows. His book " The Campaign For Atlanta " is out of print. The hard bound version is expensive but there is a large nice paper back version that makes a great version for use in the field. Remember to always get permission to hunt the parcel of land you are interested in. Remember relic hunters have been tresspassing for 35 years from Atlanta to Ringgold. Careful , landowners can be very hostile to hunters. But look the land owners straight in the eye and you might get lucky.

I went to the Dalton Show today. Awesome. If you leave early in the morning , you can make it to the show. The dealers start breaking down about noon.
