I too love civil war history and have been metal detecting (private property with permission) for years as well as being a reenactor. My first reenactment was at Olustee, Florida. I was amazed to see 1500 in uniform. By the 125th anniversary, we were hosting 18,000 in uniform at Gettysburg. Now we are at the 150th anniversary. Should be some great reenactments over the next few years. Here are a few relics I dug from one site in Tennessee.
