"The men say the surface has been searched many times over the years, but modern metal detectors can?t search five and six inches below the surface."

County picks artifact recovery firm in Resaca
Before the intersection of Upper Tate Bend Road and U.S. 41 became the site for the county?s new fire station and jail, it was a staging area for Union and Confederate troops during the Civil War. . . .
While the battle took place further north, the 60 acres of land the county now owns was an important part of the Civil War.
?There were 80,000 Confederate troops on that site for two days and then another 100,000 Union troops there as an extended camp to guard the railroad,? Holland said. ?It has both Yankee and Confederate artifacts on it.? . . . . . . . .
