My dad, being the Civil War buff he is, will love seeing this coin. 

I hope one day to visit the site of Gettysburg with this coin and dip it in some caches nearby. Till then, it will ride along with me on many geocaching adventures and visit many meet n greets. 

About This Item

The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863, is considered the most important engagement of the American Civil War. After a great victory over Union forces at Chancellorsville, General Robert E. Lee marched his Army of Northern Virginia into Pennsylvania in late June 1863. On July 1, the advancing Confederates clashed with the Union’s Army of the Potomac, commanded by General George G. Meade, at the crossroads town of Gettysburg. The next day saw even heavier fighting, as the Confederates attacked the Federals on both left and right. On July 3, Lee ordered an attack by fewer than 15,000 troops on the enemy’s center at Cemetery Ridge. The assault, known as “Pickett’s Charge,” managed to pierce the Union lines but eventually failed, at the cost of thousands of rebel casualties, and Lee was forced to withdraw his battered army toward Virginia on July 4.

Beim Ausmisten der Fotos auf dem Handy sind mir noch etliche TB- Codes in die Hände gefallen die noch nicht geloggt waren. So habe ich mich heute abend hingesetzt und alle nachgeloggt. Den Ownern einen herzlichen Dank fürs discovern. Gruß Geomicha1.

Still finding TBs from the list I had not yet logged. This is our 501st! Thanks for sharing and see you in Yuma! It won't be long now! We leave tomorrow to spend a few days in Tucson first as we are going to put our RV on consignment there - it's just sitting, not being used, so we figure it would be better to sell it. Drive safely, you and Val.....
