Current Goal

To be seen and shared during the 150th Anniversary of the Civil War.   Keep me on the move from cache to cache and share the story of the Battle of the Crater during the siege of Petersburg that lasted from June 15th 1864 to April 2, 1865.

About This Item

 BATTLE OF THE CRATER:  on July 30, 1864, Union troops exploded a mine under the Confederate line attempting to create breakthrough into the City of Petersburg.  The fighting that followed the explosion raged for nearly 10 hours and resulted in nearly 5,500 casualties and no break in the Confederate line,  General Grant said it was "the saddest affair I have ever  witnessed in the war."

I have this coin in my possession, and want to share with other cachers.  I no longer send geocoins out as I have had too many taken by some cachers who do not follow the rules of the game, that trackables are meant to be seen and shared by moving on to another cache.  You can discover the trackable and get credit on your profile.
