re: Metal detecting novice

Thatguy, I know someone that researched the battle/ skirmish at Lafourche Crossing and found the exact location of the fighting. He contacted the people who owned the land and asked for permission to search it with his detector. If IRC it was a sugar cane field and the owners gave him access after harvest. He found a bunch of minie balls, some brass buttons, and a few other things.

So there are some landowners that will give you access, just do the research to find the locations.

I remember he told me that during the War there were a lot of small unit skirmishes and activity along Bayou Teche and that he was going to research that area to find some locations.
