Flippen Road at Walt Stephens Road
1985
The site was searched after Civil War relics were found on the site. The area was being developed. We went to
the site for three days and searched with metal detection devices and screen methods. The site was uphill
above a good creek known as Reeves Creek.
Artifacts Found:
1. 7 dropped .58 cal bullets
2. 4 dropped .36 cal bullets
3. 2 lead poker chips
4. 1 homemade CS buckle
5. 1 very rusted cook pot
6. 2 picket pins
7. 1 pocket watch
8. 1 pocket knife
9. 1 large 1830 penny
10. Several lead pieces
The site was determined to be a Confederate Camp likely part of the Orphan Brigade.
