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.

[@patfrenchcountryblessing]

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 🙏🎄🍁❤️

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

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 😊🇺🇸🔥🌹❤️👏👏

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 .

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

@@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 🙂🔥👍👍

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!

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

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 😁🙏👌👏👏

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.

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

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 🙂🔥🔥👍

[@embrykendrick4517]

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.

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

@@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 🙂🔥👏👏

[@Wolfspaine7N6]

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.

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

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 🙂🇺🇸😊👍

[@ggwoutdoors2a]

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...

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

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 🙂🇺🇸🇺🇸🔥👍

[@NorthFloridaOutdoorsman]

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

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

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

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.

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

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 🙂🇺🇸🔥👍👍

I live in N.E Decatur . I found a civil war musket in the woods behind my house in 1969 . The butt of the riffle was sticking out of the ground down to the trigger .

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

Hey buddy! Oh my goodness lol. I probably would have fainted 😂 I’ve found a lot of pieces of muskets but never a complete one. That is so cool. Decatur saw a lot of action in the Atlanta campaign. Congratulations my friend and I sure appreciate you watching and the neat comments 😊🔥👏👏

@@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing I was with the neighbors 2 sons . We were 7 and 8 years old . We Ran into their mothers house with it and were all like "Wow !" "look what we found . Our parents confirmed it was a civil war musket . We were all pretty excited .

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.

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

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.

[@NoneOfya-n3t]

@@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.

Is the big 2000 home development on the southwest side of Atlanta?

[@GeorgiaTrappingandFishing]

@@cwf081166 Hey brother! I sure appreciate ya taking time to watch. One of the properties was being developed and had the roads paved and then I think the company went belly up. I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before someone starts developing it. Another of the properties is gone now due to road widening projects.
