   I'm not sure about Dave Brauner, and I'm not certain they've found the   
   military outhouses yet.  There was some discussion about it, but I only   
   overheard it 'cause I was on the other side of the house.   
      
   One thing they said is that for decades, even after the fort was officially   
   closed, folks you to hang out on the side of the house and bang away at the   
   hillside, so they found countless brass cartriges of various size (mostly   
   .22) on the side of the house we were digging.  No surprise that I found   
   about a dozen, but the percussion caps were the most interesting in that   
   regard.   
      
   Ohthouses are definately the place to look. I think it was Savannah where   
   somebody dug an artillery shell from a huge-ass Confederate seige cannon out   
   of one.   (How'd you like to be six feet down a shithole and find out you're   
   sharing it with a live bomb?)
