How close to Antietam are you? Be careful. Isn't it a Federal Historic Landmark? Don't go to jail!

Terry Did you REALLY mean jail or did you mean PRISON !!1

Civilman and I did some research with the Civil War Atlas
and Google Earth. We were looking for a site that may have
been overlooked for all of these years of people hunting up here
at Antietam.
We Found a site that looked promising, so we went this morning at
5:45 to hit it and just "check it out".
We hiked in and started finding bullets right away. My XLT was singing!!!
Things were lookinggood! By 8:45 I had found my first US belt plate. YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Before the day was over, I had found the Belt Plate, TWO Eagle buttons
(I have never found anything but flat buttons), Two Washington Arsenal
bullets, a Williams Cleaner WITH the zinc still in it (another first), Three
pulled bullets, and a Tompion With the leather still attached!
This was by far the BEST Civil War hunt I have ever had!!!
Thanks for looking!
