The account
Custer's Last Stand. Detector surveys here famously mapped the fight via fired cartridges, pioneering battlefield archaeology.
Leads, where the trail points now
- The field is at Crow Agency, MT, and arms, shot, and relics still come out of the ground there.
- Detecting or digging needs landowner or park permission, and any significant find should be recorded; many battlefields are protected.
- Work the documented account of Battle of the Little Bighorn to learn where the fighting, the camps, and the rout actually ran before you look.
