Come all ye valiant soldiers -- a story I will tell
About the bloody battle that was fought on Shiloh Hill.
It was an awful struggle and will cause your blood to chill;
It was the famous battle that was fought on Shiloh Hill.

'Twas on the sixth of April, just at the break of day;
The drums and fifes were playing for us to march away.
The feeling of that hour I do remember still,
When first my feet were tromping on the top of Shiloh Hill.

About the hour of sunrise the battle it began;
Before the day was ended, we fought 'em hand to hand.
The horrors of that field did my heart with anguish fill
For the wounded and the dying that lay on Shiloh Hill.

There were men from every nation laid on those bloody plains,
Fathers, sons, and brothers were numbered with the slain,
That has caused so many homes with deep mourning to be filled,
All from the bloody battle that was fought on Shiloh Hill.

The wounded men were crying for help from everywhere,
While others who were dying were offering God their prayer,
"Protect my wife and children if it is Thy holy will!"
Such were the prayers I heard that night on Shiloh Hill.

And early the next morning we were called to arms again,
Unmindful of the wounded and unuseful to the slain;
The struggle was renewed again, and ten thousand men were killed;
This was the second conflict of the famous Shiloh Hill.

The battle it raged on, though dead and dying men
Lay thick all o'er the ground, on the hill and on the glen;
And from their deadly wounds, the blood ran like a rill;
Such were the mournful sights that I saw on Shiloh Hill.

Before the day was ended, the battle ceased to roar,
And thousands of brave soldiers had fell to rise no more;
They left their vacant ranks for some other ones to fill,
And now their mouldering bodies all lie on Shiloh Hill.

And now my song is ended about those bloody plains;
I hope the sight by mortal man may ne'er be seen again!
But I pray to God, the Saviour, "If consistent with Thy will,
To save the souls of all who fell on bloody Shiloh Hill."

Good morning fellas. It's the 159th Anniversary of the battle of Shiloh.
 

Has anybody seen MsBeeps? I'm getting worried.

Good Luck to Everyone and new detecting people.... fill your holes.... fill any holes you see open and take your dug trash..... make "US" , look good.... Thank You...
 

I have to adjust my brain and body. After being 80* this weekend... It Going To Snow Now!
 

Morning all! I need advice... should I go detecting today or be responsible and do stuff that I actually need to get done? I think the answer is obvious but I need a second opinion. :laughing7:
 

Dinner time all ready, Imake those potatoes Bill, I used a cold left over baked, than cube up and fry or bake broil.
I’m still waiting on a colt. I was watching some friends mares and than when started showing bag, they came and took home. Those early colts are on the ground and somehow I didn’t get a pic.
I bet a 1 oz in-line-lead crawler harness pulled in the mud line is happening today around Sandusky. That place can be some cold/wet conditions. I’ve seen some huge crafts there but when I was there they were all shrink wrapped from winter storage.
 

Or.....maybe....more to the point?
