Even metal detected and found several buckets, breast plates, drops, and a CS buckle at Bunker Hill, WV way back in 76. Was really into the Civil War for so many years, travelled and lectured, part of NPS VIP program. Love history, and now focused on Jacobites. Gettysburg is the MECA. Franz Sultz who own Farnsworth House remains a good friend, photo of me below at officer Captain Union Army

CHEERS...
I had friends do re-enacting especially during the Gettysburg filming. My father in-law has tons of stuff from Antietam from his great uncle (whose collection now is at the Antietam visitor center). # years ago I got to manassa which is one of the places I had wanted to go to. From a different era fort fredricks became a new favorite.
