Civil War Relic Hunting Atlanta

- Hey Everybody, We went out a few days for a couple of hours each time. We were able to find a few relics left behind by the soldiers. Many of the battlefields here are being developed so there wont be any signs a war was ever fought here. Sad really. Thanks for taking a look.

I was raised in Decatur in the 50s and 60s. Did some hunting in the early 60s in north Ga but never thought to look in Atlanta, thought it was all paved over. Glad you saved something.
Thanks for taking time to watch John. Most of the trenches are gone now or have been dumped in for years. It’s getting tough to hunt them. Thanks buddy 🙂🔥👍👍
in the mid 50's and through the 60;s, my family lived on Ridgewood Rd. in NW Atlanta. I could walk out our back door and in just a short walk would be at the Chattahoochee River. There several indentations on the hillsides behind our house. Digging around in one, I found a cannon ball one day. It's about the size of a softball and it had an indentation on it. Not knowing what it was and out of curiosity, I took my pocket knife and started scratching out that spot.. I poured out a powder that was black. I still have that cannonball right here beside me as I write this. I've been told that I was very lucky not just as a find but that I didn't create a spark digging the plug out.
Hey Doug! Man I love hearing personal stories like yours. It’s amazing how many rounds were shot into Atlanta during the siege. And with the three major battles in your area there is probably many more out there. Did the cannonball have a brass fuse in it or just a plug? It very well could have been Confederate. Either way it is a heck of a find for ya. I’m glad you have a great piece of history and you hung on to it. Take care brother 🙂🔥🔥👍
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing It must have been a plug because. I didn't have any trouble digging it out with a with a small pocket knife..
Go to Ridgewood Rd I just found a cannon
Smyrna allowed Concord Road earthworks to be destroyed to build shopping centers. They were the second line of heavy defenses from Kennesaw Mountain to guard Atlanta. I remember walking through the earthworks and cannon emplacements back in the 70s . They were almost pristine. Such a loss of history .
@@firestorm8471 oh man, so many sites have been allowed to be bulldozed for tax revenue. They could have saved so many of the Fortifications and trench works around our area. I’m glad they saved some of the star forts along the river. I sure appreciate you taking time to watch and the great comments 🙂🔥👍👍
I found a civil war bullet once at the gravel parking lot at the cyclorama in the late 1970’s. Always wondered what it was, now I know thanks to you, a Williams Cleaner Bullet. Many thanks.
Hey buddy! That’s awesome. I knew some guys who grew up around Grant park in the 60s and they were always finding bullets in their yards. Best of luck and I hope you find many more 🙂👍👏👏
Plenty of good action, your knowledge of that area and history is appreciated , Great finds .
Thats a pretty woods by the river there. Watch your topknot and blessins to y'all 🤝
Good Vid
Hey Will! I sure appreciate it brother. Yes sir they are some big woods down by that river. I love it out there. Y’all stay warm! 😊🔥🔥👍
I grew up on the corner of Forrest Rd and Linwood Ave back in the '50s. This was hilley land and breast works during the war. After a good rain, the ground was sprouting bullets. Once I found a dozen of those cleaning bullets with the zinc plug.We speculated that the plug was to expand the bullet into rifeling for a better gas seal. I took one to the Kennesaw battlefield where a ranger told me what I had. Across the street a judge owned about 3 AC of land and all sorts of things were found there: spurs, belt buckles, sword scabbards,etc. That was my childhood.
Hey Embry!
That is so cool. I always loved that area. My sister and her husband lived on Montrose right near there. You’re right it was really hilly there lol. You were blessed to live in a beautiful area back then. They had a big dirt crawl space in there basement and a large yard. I wish I had been detecting back then. Thanks for commenting and sharing a great story. I always enjoy it. 😊👏👏👏
I grew up on Oakdale Dr off Ash street!!
@@desertweasel6965 that’s awesome! There were a lot of group movements all through that area before the battle of Jonesboro. The Calvary probably moved through there regularly during the March to the sea. I appreciate ya commenting 🙂🔥👍
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing I used to be so fascinated with local civil war stuff. Right at the end of stage coach rd and anvil block road there was a big Union encampment. I actually was able to find remnants of it as you reach the end of Stagecoach. There was also a little house that is still there at the intersection of boldercrest Rd and panthersville Rd. The woman that lived there allowed high ranking officers to stay there and around the property.
@@desertweasel6965 very cool! You should try to go back and revisit that place 👍👍
I like such kinds of videos, keep them coming. Beautiful sharing
Best of luck Everything about this video is simply perfect. Thank you
Thanks so much Jan! I appreciate you watching and I enjoyed seeing you prepare all your delicious dishes 😊🔥👏👏
HI CRAIG, HOPE EVERYONE IS DOING WELL. THIS WAS A GREAT VIDEO. ALL MILITARY 🪖 BULLETS WAS GREAT TO FINE. THEY WAS REAL MILITARY WOW. TFS WISHING YOU A BLESS WEEKEND PAT XOXO 🙏🎄🍁❤️
Hey Pat 😊👋 Thanks so much for watching. Yes there were battles all over Atlanta. Most are developed now but you can still find a few things. I hope y’all are good and enjoying this mild weather 😊🇺🇸🔥🌹❤️👏👏
so interesting to say the least. thanks for sharing your finds. God Bless and take good care Craig
Hey there Judy 😊👋 I sure appreciate that. I like to stay busy in the woods until trapping season starts and I’ve always been interested in civil war stuff so I sure enjoy it. I hope you and Glenn have been doin good and you have a good deer season this year. 😊🇺🇸🔥🌹👏👏
Oh wow!! Great finds!!! Enjoyed this video. Thank you very much.😊
Thanks a bunch Jamie! It’s always fun to get out find some junk 😂😂😂👌
Graig, Excellent finds and video. I really enjoyed the video. Take care and Thank You, "Poverty hill" Brian
Hey Brian! Thanks a bunch brother. I enjoy going to the old battlefields and kicking around. Just don’t have much time anymore. I’m glad ya enjoyed it and maybe I’ll get back out after trapping season this year 😊🇺🇸🔥🔥👍
Wow! Excellent video Craig. I love civil war history and it looks like you found some old skirmish lines with all those shot rounds. Love your knowledge of the types of rounds too. Keep em coming with that relec finder
Hey Gary! 😊👋 Thanks a bunch buddy. I use to detect a lot more than I do now cause I can’t get up those steep hills lol. There were quite a few skirmishes around here just not much left anymore. I’m glad ya enjoyed it and hopefully I’ll get back out again. I hope y’all are doin good brother 😊🇺🇸🔥👍👍
I live in Atlanta, and this stuff fascinates me. Keep doing what you're doing and thanks for filming it all - would like to come hang out while you do it some time!
Thanks a bunch my friend! Yes it’s just a thrill to see these places before they are gone. I don’t get out much these days, mostly I just hunt the parks for old coins. I appreciate ya taking time to watch 🙂🔥👏👏
I work in Downtown ATL and a couple months ago I found a 3 ring mini ball right around Jefferson street!
Awe that’s fantastic! I image during construction downtown a lot of cool relics have been found. I’m glad you got a piece of history! Thanks so much for taking time to watch and the great comments. 😊👏👏👍
Great video Craig! Nice finds. Thanks for sharing brother!
Hey Mark! I appreciate ya checkin it out. It keeps me busy till trapping season starts lol 😁🇺🇸🔥👍👍
Good day Georgia! Very cool finds. Probably some good stories to go along with all that stuff.
Hey Mike! Yes sir It’s neat just sitting in those trenches and wondering what it was like when all hell was breaking loose lol. Next time I’ll try to show the cannon emplacements 😊🔥🔥👍
prolly a dozen years ago i bought a metal detector to go use along the beach here. I found coins, modern not ancient, keys, and a nice silver necklace, but one day i got up early and looked out at the beach and seen like 5 ppl walking along with metal detectors, the sun hadnt even came up yet, lol. by the time i would get to the beach it was picked over. but it has been used to find lost jewelry family members dropped in their yards. but to find pieces of history, blows my mind ,,so interesting!
Hey Bonnie 😊 I always take mine to the beach when I go on vacation and I find some change and junk jewelry lol. I hunt the parks here and have found a good bit of gold jewelry. That may be good for you to try if the weather is nice. I hope ya find some good stuff 😁🙏👌👏👏
I live in Cobb county Marietta. Used to ride my horse in the woods along the creek .Kennesaw mountain you could see from the porch.There was old trenches in the woods there when i was a kid had a lot of fun back then.
Got on Google maps and zoomed in to see what it was like today. For i have been gone for a long time.wow its all developed with streets and houses.its all gone. Gone with the wind
@@grifce Hey there my friend!
Yes it’s all gone except for the park property. I had permissions on 4 or 5 different properties years ago and they were eventually all sold off and developed. It was a big part of Atlanta’s history just buried under concrete. You take care and I appreciate your cool story. 🙂👏👏
Great little finds !! Definitely helps having a pin pointer !! You found a bunch !! Looks like a lot of fun brother !! Very interesting video Craig !! 👍🏼🔥😊
Hey brother! Thanks a bunch. There are small pockets of woods that hold some good stuff but kinda hard to get back in there lol. It’s just a fun way to kill time till trapping starts 😁 I sure appreciate ya brother 😊🇺🇸🔥🔥👏
Wow Craig! You got all kinds of interesting things! A little bit of history there. Thanks so much for taking us along 🤗
Hey Kat 😊👋 Thanks so much. I always enjoy being in the woods no matter what I’m doing lol I sure appreciate ya watchin and I hope y’all are doin good 😊🇺🇸🔥👏👏
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing Thank you 🙂
Thank you for sharing brother! You found some really cool stuff!
Hey Mark! I appreciate ya brother. It’s pretty fun to get out in the woods until trapping season starts 😊👍👍🔥
Cool finds Craig!! We use those tags in Timber sales!!
Hey Evan! I figured it had something to do with the trees but couldn’t figure it out lol. I sure appreciate ya brother 😊🇺🇸🔥👊👍
Those are some great finds and stories Craig, thanks for sharing. Hope you have a blessed and Happy Thanksgiving my friend.
Thanks a bunch Tony! I hope y’all do as well brother 😊🇺🇸🔥👏👏

Hey my friend! I appreciate you watching and the nice comment 😊🔥👍👏👏
Beautiful day for it. Love it ❤
Thanks so much Joy! Yes we’ve been back in the 80s here like y’all. I’ll sure take it 😂😂👌
Very interesting items that you found.
Thanks for taking us around with you!
Beautiful day out there!
Thanks so much Jenn 😊 I sure appreciate ya watchin. The weather has been so nice for fall. Unseasonably warm too 😊🇺🇸🔥👏👏👏
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing same here in Texas. It's been nice and warm. Cold temps are returning 🥶
Really enjoyed this video, you found so many bullets, the cool thing is you can still sell all the garbage for scrap when it accumulates into a good-sized pile.
Hey Michael! Thanks for watchin brother. Yes sir I save all the junk so I can recycle it. It’s a pretty neat hobby and keeps me out in the woods 😊🇺🇸🔥🔥👍
Nice finds. Happy there are still things around to discover. Keep your Powder dry
Hey brother! I sure appreciate ya taking time to watch. It’s getting much harder to find relics around here but every now and then we find a spot to hunt .😊🇺🇸👍👍🔥 Thanks again and you do the same 👌
Nice finds Craig 👌 Liking 👍 😎
Hey my friend, I really appreciate you watching and the nice comment. 😊🔥👏👏👏
Nice video and finds ❤️👍
There was a few planes too
Hey Roni! Thanks so much. I love being in the woods no matter what I’m doing lol. Yea we have plenty of planes here 😂👌👏👏🔥
it was great to come along with you on this search, you found some awesome stuff out there. Cool ! Happy Thanksgiving to you Craig. I have my comment section back on on my videos.
Hey Nicole 😊 Happy Thanksgiving to y’all too. I hope you enjoy it. I’m glad, I’ve been watching but couldn’t let ya know 😁🔥👏👏
Great video uploaded, fully watched, so enjoyable, thanks for sharing my friend, wish you stay safe, Happy and healthy ❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
Thanks so much for watching my friend, I appreciate it 😊👍👍👍👏
That was a fun video Craig I always enjoy these when you put them out. I hope you are having a great weekend Brother
Hey Chris! I sure appreciate it brother. It’s a fun hobby until trapping season starts and it keep me in the woods lol 😁🇺🇸👍👍🔥
Awesome finds brother Craig
Hey Dan! Thanks brother, I like to stay in the wood doin something till trapping starts. It pretty fun too 😁🇺🇸🔥👍👍 I appreciate ya buddy
Those are tree tags we use to number trees when doing a plot for research. Forest managers and lumberjacks use them too. Awesome hunt Craig. It's sad that encampment is getting bulldozed.
Hey Irene! I wondered if that’s what they were for. They have logged that land recently. It’s a shame all the battlefields are being developed. The agenda seems to be erase everything and no one will remember 🙄🙄 Thanks a bunch for watchin and the answer to my question 😊🇺🇸🔥🔥👏
Yup dems want to rewrite history in there favor...smh @GeorgiaTrappingandFishing
Hey Craig it was nice following along. I love old stuff
Hey Enos! I sure appreciate it brother. Yeah it keeps me in the woods till trapping starts lol 😁👌👌
Excellent video, very interesting my friend 👍👍
Thanks so much my friend. I appreciate you watching 😊👍👍
Awesome finds brother. We’ve been out detecting around here before and all we found was junk but there’s not as much history that happened in this area. Mostly just old farms. Sorry I missed this when you posted it. We’ve been having our fun with Covid here. Too bad they’re developing so many historic places. Soon there will be no evidence they ever existed. Sad.
Hey there Don👋 Man I sure hate to hear y’all have been sick, Stoney caught it this week on a business trip. I’ve been trying to stay in the woods lol. I bet you find some cool farm relics there, I love finding that stuff. Everything is disappearing here under concrete and steel. They know what happened in these areas so I think it’s by design that it gets developed and everything is erased. I hate it too. 🙄 I hope y’all get better soon buddy 😊🇺🇸🔥👍👍
Excellent. Happiness and Joy to you.
Have a blessed time. Greetings ~ Milan
Thanks so much my friend! I really appreciate you taking time to watch 😊👏👏🔥
Cool cool video Craig didn't really know that ya did this, looks like ya had a nice score of relics cool stuff.
Hey Shannon! Yes sir I’ve been doin it for years, just don’t have as much time these days. It’s a fun hobby when I ain’t trappin lol. I sure appreciate ya brother! 😊👊🇺🇸🔥👍
Hey Craig, how you doing Brother! Got me a deer a week ago. Amazing history you have there in Atlanta and incredible knowledge you have of military artefacts. You know a lot about civil war bullets. I should take this art up and search some old New Zealand wars battle sites (we had some wars 1840’s to 1860’s too. ) Hope the rest of your week goes great Brother 🇺🇸 🇳🇿
Hey Dave! Fantastic brother, I’m glad your season is going good. You’ll have plenty of meat in the freezer. 😁👌👌 I enjoy metal detecting the battle sites and I bet you would too. It’s just neat finding old stuff lol. Best of luck the rest of the season brother 😊🇳🇿🔥🇺🇸👍👍
done a lot of relic hunting back in the early seventies when there was a lot of stuff to be found, the Union Armies winter camp at Fredricksburg on the north side of the river
was a gold mine of finds
Hey brother! VA. Was loaded with great relics. I’m glad you got into them in the hay day. I used to hunt up there for a week every year but the older I got I slowed down. I’d like to get back up there one of these days. I sure appreciate you taking time to watch and commenting 🙂🇺🇸🔥👍👍
Very cool brother! We dont get much war stuff here but I did find an old .25 cal. bullet mold with round ball on one side and conical on the other. Found I on my farm where a lieutenant from the 2nd WV infantry used to live. Probably his squirrel rounds.
Hey AL! 👋 Man that’s cool! I had a buddy of mine found a bullet mold one time down here. I’d love to find one. It’s getting harder to find stuff here now days. I sure appreciate ya watchin brother 😊🇺🇸🔥👍👍
My father's maternal grandfather was with the Federal Army, the 8th Kansas Volunteer Infantry, enlisting in March 1864. Of just over 1000 of his unit, he was only one of a few handful who survived. He was part of the siege of Atlanta.
@@kilcar what a fantastic family history! I sure appreciate you sharing it with me. It was hard on both side’s during the Atlanta campaign. It was the hottest months of the year and I know it was miserable for them. He was probably involved in the march to the sea with Sherman too. Thanks again and I hope you enjoyed the video! 🙂🇺🇸🔥👍
Good to take a break from the insanity of what's going on in our Country right now.😊👍🏻
Hey Ron! Yes sir, I have to get in the woods and clear my head when I can lol. I hope you enjoyed the video and I sure appreciate ya watching 🙂🇺🇸🔥👍👍
Thats awesome brother! When you find the Gold stash remember me😂😂😂👍
LOL. Will do Woody 🤣🤣🤣👌 Hope it’s a pot of gold 😁
Cool. Learned what’s cleaner bullet is. Good stuff.
@@gator83261 Hey there! I sure appreciate ya watchin, I hope you enjoyed it 🙂🇺🇸🔥🔥
Beautiful video thanks you 👍🔔❤️
Thank you my friend. I appreciate you watching 😊👏👏🔥
Cool to see stuff still being dug so close to Atlanta, but really sad to see all the development of the few remaining battlefields. I've dug some relics further north around Dalton to Resaca.
Hey Grant! I appreciate ya watching brother. Yes sir, it will all be gone before long. I hunted Dalton a few times and really enjoyed it. Great folks up that way. Maybe this fall I can get out and hunt a few more places before it’s gone 🙂🇺🇸🔥🔥
Awesome video and some good relics Craig! Didn’t know you were a relic hunter too. Me and a friend used to relic hunt around Lovejoy, Palmetto and some other places back in the 80s and 90s. Found some pretty good stuff. I’m in Fayetteville if y’all need some extra help. You’re right, a lot of places are long gone or gonna be. Enjoy the videos and thanks for sharing.
Hey Joe! I appreciate ya watchin buddy. I live in Palmetto and most of it’s gone now too lol. All the land around the airport is warehouses now and everything on Hwy 29 is gone too. There a few spots left but it’s all private property. I use to hunt Lovejoy too but gosh they’ve built it up unbelievably now. I don’t get out like I use too anymore but I’ll still scratch my itch every now and then lol. Thanks again brother! 😊🇺🇸🔥👍👍
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing I would really like to meet you in person one day. Maybe we can. We have all the same interests for sure. Probably have seen each other around at some point I bet.
@@joemiller8965 sounds good Joe! Once I get done with trapping season maybe we can get out there one day and see what we can find😊👌👌
Wicked awesome and all a resource of some sort. 👊💀
Hey brother! Thanks for checkin it out. Yes sir I can melt down what I need to cast bullets for the SHTF lol. I just enjoy bein in the woods one way or the other.👌👌 I appreciate man 🙂🇺🇸🔥👊🍻🍻
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing Hell yeah being outside is the only way.
I grew up literally on part of the cold harbor battlefield. Found my first relics there and when they cleared for another house we'd ckeck thevpiles of dirt
Man that would have been cool brother.I grew up less than 4 miles from so many skirmishes and had no idea when I was younger. I missed so many opportunities to hunt those places. Congratulations for getting in on them back then. I sure appreciate ya taking time to watch 🙂🔥🔥👍
I've seen trenches like those but I never knew if they were actually civil war trenches. I live near where the battle of Peachtree Creek was.
Hey brother! I’m sure there are some trenches in that area due to the fighting and size of that battlefield. Development has taken most of them but there may be a few pockets left. Best of luck if you try looking around up there 🙂🇺🇸😊👍
Nice hunt man, I’m in Atlanta and find some relics here often
Hey brother! Yes sir I’ve seen quite a few of your hunts. You’ve got a great channel. I use to hunt up around your neck of the woods but I just don’t get out as much as I used to. I sure appreciate ya stopping by and taking a look. Best of luck out there 🙂👍👍🔥
I'd love to do some digging around Atlanta. I live up here in Forsyth Co. Not much to hunt up this way. I did manage to find the brass face of a Western style Block I Confederate button. I'm guessing it was either troops passing through or a veteran that returned home after the war. Anyway, nice video!
Hey Harold! I sure appreciate ya watching brother. It getting so developed now in Atlanta there just isn’t many places left. I hunted up in Dalton a couple of years ago. Just knocked on some doors and asked permission. I’d study the troop movements instead of battle fields these days. They did a lot of marching. Best of luck and I hope you find some new spots 🙂🇺🇸🔥👍👍
My fire department uses those tags you found to number fire hydrants. The color indicates the gallons per minute the fire hydrant can flow.
Hey John! Very cool, seems like I’ve seen some of the hydrants tagged here too. I appreciate your input and great comment brother! 🙂🇺🇸🔥👏👏
Used to be some nice trenches off the Bank Head highway..
@@akjeff64 Hey Jeff! Thanks for watching brother. I’ve never detected Bankhead Hwy. I’ve done Fulton Industrial a few times. Lots of construction in both those areas now. 🙂🔥👍👍
Hey, Craig. Love these civil war sights. Very interesting. I've always wondered about detecting construction sights. Any luck? Prayers and well wishes brother.
Hey Tim 👋 oh man I’ve detected all kinds of places lol. Any time they start moving dirt for for a construction site is a good place to look. I hope ya find some good stuff and I hope y’all are doing well brother! 😊🇺🇸🔥👍👍
Great find. I live a stones throw from the Pea Ridge Battlefield, it would be neat to see whats right in my backyard.
That’s awesome brother! I bet you’ve got a good bit of relics on your property. You should get ya a detector and give it a whirl! 😊👌I appreciate ya taking time the watch and if you find anything let me know 😊🇺🇸🔥🔥👍
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing What type of detector would you recommend for a starter? be great to get the kids involved
@@spudhut2246 hey brother a Tesoro Tejon is a good all round detector and not awfully pricey. I hunt with a technetics T2. It’s up there on the price range but if they enjoy it y’all could upgrade later 😊👌👍👍
That's way cool! I like the Civil War stuff and the history behind it. Sad that the historical grounds are being developed like that without at least saving a small piece for some kind of historical park and for future generations to see. Progress must go on I guess...
Hey Joe! I appreciate it brother. I agree they should try to at least preserve the areas they can but around Atlanta I think it’s erase as much as ya can 🙄🙄 But I guess it’s the norm here now. I hope y’all are doin good brother 🙂🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥👍
I lived on Powers Ferry Rd north of Buckhead as a kid back in the late 40's to mid 50's. We had seven acres and on the back side of the property there were trenches dug for probably five hundred feet facing north to the Chattahoochee River. They were usually full of water but when I got older I realized they were for soldiers trying to defend Atlanta near the end of the war. I live in the north now and metal detect around old swimming holes and rivers.
That’s an awesome story from your childhood! I wish I had been born 10 years earlier lol. I’ve never detected that area but I’m sure it was a hot spot for relics. I mostly hunt the parks around my house now too. I sure appreciate you commenting. 🙂👏👏🔥
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing I live where there is a lot of early history back to the 1600's. Old forts/stage coach stops. Barge canals where small barges were pulled by horses/mules. Lot of battle sights of Indian/settler fighting. Major forts during the Indian wars. But a lot of it is state land, protected so can't hunt there, but not all. I'm 80 now so it's a lot harder for me no to get into a lot of these places. But I live on a private lake community with a private beach going back to the early 1800's and the sight of an old boathouse that was torn down 50 years ago and a boat launch. And I'm the only guy here with any metal detectors. I enjoyed your video.
I hunted that river line at bank head highway 40 years ago the trenches were still head high with rifle pits like they were dug yesterday
Man, I wish I had of been detecting back then. People have been dumping in these sites for years now. They are in pretty bad shape. I appreciate the great comment 🙂🔥👍👍
Good stuff. Sad about the development but that’s how it goes I guess
Hey my friend! I really appreciate you taking time to watch. Yes it’s sad to see all the construction in these areas but money always wins out. It happens in every city I guess. Thanks again and take care 🙂🔥👍👍
That would be fun to do one day.
Hey brother! It is, it keeps me in the woods till trapping season starts too lol. I appreciate ya watchin 😊🇺🇸🔥🔥👍
I wish I could find arrowheads with one of those nice finds
LOL, me too David! If they every invent one I’ll sure buy it 🤣 As much as I’m in the woods I still haven found any here 😊🔥🔥👍
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing I have looked a lot only found like three in my lifetime and I’m almost 46
My great grandfather had a farm in Riverdale, Evans Farm, there is a history marker there, the house is still standing. When he came home after the war he had to carry wheel barrow loads of what he called “shot,” battlefield material, from his field so he could plant crops. He dumped the “shot” into a ditch near his field, From what I’ve heard it was a lot of battlefield material. If no one has found that ditch there is most likely thousands of dollars of relics there for someone to find.
Hey there! Man that is awesome. I have an old friend who grew up there on Evans farm. I believe he still lives on that road. There was a lot of fighting through that area, I’m sure it’s loaded with good relics. You should get out and try to find some. You would have a great time detecting it. Best of luck my friend 🙂🔥👍👍
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing The original house was still there when I last saw it, I believe there were some additions to it. That is amazing that you knew someone that grew up there! When the war ended my great grandfather came home and I was told he brought his Confederate Calvary saber. I wish it was still in the family, probably wasn’t valued much. The Union troops that camped on the farm broke my great grandmother’s china, ate all their farm animals, but at least they didn’t harm her or her children.
@@OnTheRiver66 hey there! I really appreciate you sharing your family history with me. My G Grandfather was shot in the battle of Franklin and taken prisoner. The only thing that’s still around is his wooden leg lol. Your family has a rich history in Riverdale, I’m glad the family house is still standing. All our family land was developed into subdivisions in the 80s. Time erases everything. Thanks again for sharing 🙂🔥👏👏
The blue tag looks like a tree tag.
Hey Brett! I appreciate that. I had an idea it may be but I really wasn’t sure. I think they cut timber on that tract a few years back. I really didn’t know though lol. Thanks again for the great insight 🙂👍👍🔥
Awesome
Hey there Paul 😊👋 I sure appreciate it buddy. I bet you’re enjoying these extra days of warm weather lol 😁👍👍🇺🇸🔥
Sweet finds
Hey Jeff! Man I appreciate ya watchin brother, something a little different until trapping starts lol. I like to stay in the woods all I can 😂👌👌
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing it is my pleasure my friend! Oh yeah you gotta do what ya gotta do
Cool stuff
Hey Mark! Thanks buddy, maybe one of these days I’ll dig up a cannon 😂😂👍🔥🇺🇸
Just found your site. Subd. Really enjoyed your video. Can relate......Pap
Hey Pap! I sure appreciate that buddy and I did the same. Relics are few and far between here these days. Good thing it’s coyote season 😂🇺🇸🔥👍 Thanks again brother
So I lived in Emerson Georgia for a very long time everytime a good rain we get bullets washing up
@@Pluh88 man that’s awesome! I’ve only had one place like that and it’s long gone, wish it was still like that lol. I’m glad you were able to get some back then. I sure appreciate ya taking time to watch and thanks for the cool story! 🙂🇺🇸🔥👍
where at ?
Cute treasure
Have a nice weeks
Thanks so much Jrose! 😊 I sure appreciate you watching and hope you are doing well 😊🔥👏👏👏🌹
I just moved to Monroe and was wondering how to find or what to look for to find places to metal detect at, I work in lathonia/ stone crest
The best thing you can do is research what happened in your area. Plenty of info online and look up old maps of your area. You just have to narrow down where the action was. Good luck my friend 🙂🔥👍👍
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing appreciate it man, I did a lot of relic hunting in fl but its different when you move to a new place and Dont know where to go. Appreciate the help and the video
Theres a bunch in the ground in the neighborhood behind little five points. All the yards around there have old trenches from what ive been told.
Hey there! I’ve heard there is still a lot in that area but it’s hard to get permissions from folks in town these days. I have friends who grew up at Grant park and they used to shoot bullets they found in their slingshots lol. I sure appreciate ya taking time to watch and the great comments. 😊👍👏👏👏
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing Yes, grant park and the homes right off of grant park. I have a friend that lives there and you can sort of see the trench line that runs back through the yards.
I've thought about asking him to detect but he only has like a quarter of an acre and it would be over in 10 mins :)
@@user-ij1vd2ww5g wow! I’d give it a shot lol. You can find some great relics in a lot that size. It’s well worth it. Let me know how ya do 😃👍👍
Tree tags. Find em all in my areas too
Awesome, I had an idea they might have been but I’m glad you confirmed it. Most of that land has been cut over the years and it’s pretty trashy out there too lol. Thanks a bunch for the help and thanks for watching 🙂👍👍🔥
Nice finds Craig. Love the historical exploration. Was there an underground mine nearby? Those tags look like Check in/Check out Man Tags for miner accountability.
Hey brother! No I’m pretty sure the were logging tags now because the clear cut that area a short time back. I couldn’t figure it out till I got some other comments. I had no clue lol. I appreciate ya brother 🙂🇺🇸🔥👍👍
Cooool
Hey Raymond! 😊👋 I sure appreciate it brother, I hope y’all are doin good and are having mild weather so far! 🔥🔥👍
Would love to metal detect for civil war relic. Maybe I can join you on a hunt someday
Hey brother, maybe we can work something out this spring. They are doing a lot of land clearing and it may open up some good spots 🙂👍👍
Lots of stuff for the pot nothing wrong with that!
Right on brother! I’ll take modern bullets anytime. It’s ALL treasure to me 😁👌 I appreciate it Scotsman 🙂👊👊🇺🇸🔥
That thin coin might be a half dime they was kinda thin plus the use of the coin possibly might have made it thinner
Hey David! I appreciate the insight buddy. I had no idea except it was definitely not silver. It was so deteriorated I couldn’t make anything out. I sure appreciate you taking time to watch and comment 😊🔥👍👍
Late to this party but how do you find places to metal detect? I live outside Atlanta and can't find anywhere that allows detecting 😞.
Hey Brandi, I looked at the old civil war maps around Atlanta and then looked at today’s maps. A great deal of the roads are pretty much the way they were then. Just google civil war trenches around Atlanta. Sadly most of them are gone nowadays but there are a few left. I hope this helps ya. 😊👏👏🔥
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing it does help, thank you. I enjoyed your video 🙂.
@@brandiwynter thanks so much, best of luck diggin 😊
7:55 nice cuff bottom. I see an eagle on there
Hey brother! Yes it turned out to be a great seal, I imagine WW2. Still a neat find for me. I like digging any era stuff lol. I sure appreciate ya watching and look forward to watching some of your videos this afternoon. Best of luck 😊🔥👍👍
Craig ❤
Hey Lidia 😊 Thanks so much for stopping by 😊🔥🌹👏👏👏
Great video Craig. I’m a civil war buff in Atlanta and would love to see those trenches. Can you share its location? Thanks buddy
Hey buddy, I appreciate you taking time to watch. The one near Red Oak has been bulldozed since the video. One is off Fulton Industrial at the river. I hope this helps ya 🙂👍👍🔥
Can you tell me where on Fulton Industrial?
I can’t figure out where along Fulton Industrial this site is. Can you help?
@@kinheyward it’s on the river at Lagrange blvd. it’s a long walk but if you park in one of the warehouses when you turn on Lagrange blvd. go toward the river you should find it
Many thanks, Craig
We’re you off of powers ferry? I’m in Jonesboro
Hey Ralph! No Ive never hunted that area before. Most of those places were inside Atlanta. Best of luck over in Jonesboro 🙂👍👏👏
That is a .22 blank cartridge. Not a percussion cap.
@@firestorm8471 I’ll be , I appreciate ya letting me know. Some of this stuff I get wrong 🙂👌👌
Get em super Craig. What material was the thin coin?
Hey Bruce! 👋 it was a copper coin or maybe a trade token. Mighty thin though. Couldn’t make out anything on it either. Wish it had been silver lol. I hope you’re doin good and I appreciate ya watchin bud 😊👍👍🔥
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing good to see you. Was hoping it was a trime or half real. I love detecting and wish you the best of luck.
@@brucemullis479 if ya ever make it back up this way let me know and we’ll go over close to the beagle club 😁👌👌
They have turned the Spanish Fort battlefield into a series of strip malls and subdivisions too. It’s just east of Mobile. I’m fortunate that I got to see and hunt it before greed obliterated it.
That always makes my blood boil when I hear these stories. We are the only country that doesn’t preserve our past history. I appreciate ya letting me know, money is King to all these people. I sure am glad you were able to see it and hunt it before it was all under concrete. Thanks again 🙂🇺🇸🔥👍👍
It looks like a M1 carbine bullet.
Hey John! I sure appreciate it buddy. I wasn’t sure, I don’t think I’d come across one like that. It usually takes some great subscribers to figure it out for me lol. Thanks again 🙂🔥👍🙂
I hope you GPS these finds; otherwise, its theft of history.
Roger that. I always mark my finds and catalog em so I can go back if need be 🙂👌👍👍
This beautiful area should be left alone. To many places are being destroy.
Don't loot historic site.
Use proper archeology.
Right on Keith! That’s why I never detect designated historic sites or protected parks. The state will never protect these sites and a couple are already under concrete now. 👌👍
That's why your video doesn't get many views.
They get enough for me 👌👌
your channel do not proper optimized.. your video SEO score is very low...why you do not solve this problem...??@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing
@@Tanjir_Tonoy no I’m happy with my results thanks anyway
@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishingthat’s right ❤🎉❤
