Wayne, Thank you for the great post. I am a bit of a Civil War buff. I have been interested in it since I was just a young boy. My son and I have been to Gettysburg, Manassas and Fredricksburg.
My grandmother's brother had a small farm in Virginia(can't remember where") and his chickens would dig up musket balls all the time. He knew I was interested in the Civil War so he would send a small bag of them up to me from time to time. Also I remember my grandmother showing me pictures of "Uncle Sye's farm house with the bullet holes still in the siding. I wish I could find out where exactly his farm was but alas there is nobody left to ask.
