150th Anniversary of The Civil War

    As we all know ,April 2011, was the 150th anniversary of the civil war. And to this day items from both sides are being recovered by treasure hunters, antique dealers & antique hunters. there were so many items made during the war its remarkable! not to mention unbelieveable. and yet I still believe that many items
will never be found, eathier due to distruction, or being passed down thru
family and or private collectors. There are many items left to be found, many items could be of extreame value. Remember after the War many who fought,
moved away to diffrent areas of the country for one reason or another. So keep in mind that civil war treasures and items are not just confined to the battlefields of The Great Civil War. I am in Washington State and I found many
civil war veterans located to this area after the war ended, and if they had treasure, it went with them IE- guns, money ( if they had any) uniforms, you name it the list could be endless on what you may find!. I am wondering who on thunting will find the most valuable item from the civil war era this year?
Happy Hunting & Best Wishes,,,,,Rob

Actually I live in Rio Grande Vally in deep South East Texas now. I hunt the beach a lot and you would be surprised how much CW stuff is here. Regardless the action that occurred in West Tennessee, well heck, Tennessee in general is prolific. Shiloh is a National Military Park and it is illegal to hunt on it for sure, but the private land around it is just fine to hunt and it seems tons of skirmishing took place just about everywhere. Shiloh is in a very rural area so the Battlefield is preserved in total and without encroachment. It is one of the most beautiful parks in the United States. I am a reanactor with the Artillery and my unit is from Savannah Tennessee, about 10 miles from Shiloh. At this point I do not even know which reenactment of the two occurring we are going to participate in, I am looking forward to it though.
