Ep 3. Civil War Nectar Sector

In this episode of Diggers, hosts George "KG" Wyant and Tim "The Ringmaster" Saylor travel to the site of a Civil War camp in search of buried treasures. The camp was located in what is now a densely wooded area, and the duo will need to use their metal detecting skills to uncover any buried artifacts.

KG and Tim begin their search by scanning the ground with their metal detectors. They quickly discover several musket balls and other pieces of ammunition, indicating that the area saw a significant amount of action during the war. As they continue to search, they also find items such as buttons, belt buckles, and even a harmonica.

The hosts are particularly excited about a large metal object that they initially believe to be a cannonball. However, upon closer inspection, they realize that it is actually a very rare and valuable artillery shell. The shell is in pristine condition and still has the original fuse, making it an incredibly valuable find.

In addition to their metal detecting finds, KG and Tim also learn about the history of the camp and the soldiers who fought there. They visit the remains of the camp's hospital and talk to experts about the medical procedures and treatments that soldiers would have undergone during the war. They also learn about the provisions that the soldiers would have had access to, such as "nectar" made from sweet potatoes.

Overall, Civil War Nectar Sector is a fascinating look into the history of the Civil War and the artifacts that are still being discovered today. With their knowledge and expertise, KG and Tim are able to bring the past to life and uncover treasures that have been buried for decades.
