History Found In the Field

I think this is a fairly old style tin can. My dad said he remembers eating out of some like this in the 60’s.

I packed it out, but I only kept the rolled up lid as a little souvenir.

That's awesome. I've got a shoe box full of arrowheads and one tomahawk head that I think 90% of them came from the same field across from there farm. Must have been a battle of some sort there.

Our place is in Mississippi. Sherman marched through there or maybe I should say burned and destroyed everything as he passed through. He burned our county seat. We are also near a railroad that was there at that time and soldiers likely traveled through on the way to the battle of Vicksburg.

Out looking for sheds we were crossing a little ditch, I was telling my son and nephew to look at the gravel layer above the bottom of the ditch for arrowheads. I pulled a rock out and this fell out too.
