Relic hunters race to save Cobb's Civil War history
Rope-like vines and low-hanging branches make walking tough in the piney wilds of west Cobb County, but they don't slow down avid hobbyists like Bill Swafford. They are racing against time and developers, who are bulldozing away the last remnants of little known Civil War battlefields that still have stories to tell. . . .
Members of metro clubs have found everything from bullets, live shells, pistols, bayonets, belt buckles, U.S. and Confederate buttons, rare coins, to personal items like smoking pipes. Occasionally, a sword turns up.
"Pretty soon, it'll all be under subdivisions and office buildings," Copelan says. "It'll be like Atlanta, where nothing is left but highways and buildings." . . . . .
