Got out...
Went to one of my point hunting sites, but it was still covered with snow. Soo, I went metal detecting on lower ground. Found these fired 58 Cal Minis left by the soldiers that were here in the 1850s. A great day, the dog loved it, too!

Pretty neat. Would those be from the Indian Wars? I'm aware of miniballs as they relate to the Civil War but not so much about out west.

Federal troops were sent here in 1858 to control the Mormons. I have been fortunate to be able to metal detect some of their sites over the years. It's neat to find an arrowhead or artifact from the past, but also great to find something from that many years ago that you can tie history to.

Interesting. I'll have to read up on that. I never knew the Mormons needed controlling.
