David Poche Civil War Relic Guides

About

Finding a Civil War campsite is a research problem before it is a detecting problem, and that is what Poche's material covers. He works through how camps were sited, what the ground looks like a century and a half later, and how to read a scatter of relics to work out what unit was there and for how long. The interpretation side is what makes it worth reading. Plenty of people dig campsite relics; far fewer can tell you what they are looking at.
