When dad got a job at Lockheed in Marietta GA we lived practically across the street from the entrance to the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park and a place called Kolb's Farm where a battle took place. I found grape shot, what we called minnie balls, bullets, shell fragments and a part of a belt buckle while raking the yard. Dad decided he should take them so I would not lose them. It was nice of him to lose them for me. I have no idea what became of them or the arrowheads, spear points and pottery shards I also found.

Resaca, Picketts mill, Kennesaw the last field on Labor day-what a mistake must of had thousands of folk here
There was a spot off the trail on Kennesaw Mountain that faced SW that had prickly pear cactus, yucca, big rocks and not too many trees that reminded me of Abilene Texas where I'm from. There was also a Civil War quarry that was not easy to find that my CAP squadron would go rappelling at. It was like Land of the Lost, just very different from the rest of the park. One day we were there and the park rangers ran us off and told us never to come back. So when we did come back to rappel we just made sure we were stealthier by parking the vehicles at a near by restaurant.
 
more..... Per Ridge. great field
