ALSO: Hello All, I am Inviting friends from Treasure-Net, To a Civil War encampment hunt on Saturday Oct. 14th 2006 from 9 A.M. Until 6 P.M. Only Registered T-Net members from 7-13-06 and before will be allowed to attend, this will stop rouge Relic Hunters from trying to just come.
This is for us friends at Treasure Net.
Details: There is a $25.00 sign -up fee for Detectorists non detectorists will have to pay $10.00 This is first come first served only the first 50 payed will be allowed to attend. The money will be used for refreshments, Door Prizes, and donation to the land owner. I have also added a PAY PAL donation link on the site for those who's like to pay by Pay Pal.
The land was occupied by 4,000 plus Union Civil War Soldiers during all 4 years of the War, there are original earthworks still on the property today, they were put there to guard a major railroad bridge the General thought there would be a major battle there and large earthworks were built, but the battle never happened. this spot has been metal detected before I was there last week and In 15 min. I found a $200.00 seated half dime less than 2 in. deep and found 6 dropped minnie balls... and an eagle button, there are many items still to be found.
LOCATION: The exact location will be given out to payed hunters only, you can find Motel rooms and food in Sedalia Mo. that is near the site of the hunt. Memebers so far that I believe are attending:
Gypsyheart ,
Tsgman ,
Nana40 ,
River Rat ,
bgscofield ,
Scotty,
Dig-it

UPDATES will be posted on the Forum Hunt Webage, Please go to this website and hit the Forum Hunt 2006 link on the front page, it will bring you to the official Forum Hunt page with lots of info. thank you JD

I bet these items you have with the documents to back it up are worth far more than what you think. Militaria collectors on ebay would probably pay a small fortune for such a rare and well documented piece of history.

Stuff looks to me like it was from a military recon mission to gather info on that German plane...could be immensly valuable if it was. CIA might take you down though...hahaha.

Just kidding about the CIA part.

If you need help with German translations, let me know. I have a friend that lives in Germany who is fluent with both new and old German.
