In this Feb. 17 photo provided by the LAMAR Institute, archaeologists from the nonprofit LAMAR Institute use metal detectors to search for artifacts from a small Revolutionary War fort in Wilkes County in northeast Georgia. Dan Elliott, the team’s leader, says the group found a dozen musket balls and rifle parts that revealed the location of Carr’s Fort, a small frontier outpost where patriot militiamen drove out British loyalists during a gunbattle in February 1779. Elliott says his team from the nonprofit LAMAR Institute found the location of Carr’s Fort in February after a month of searching and confirmed their discovery with return trips in March and April.

Thanks for the article and the ping. In approximately what part of GA is this fort located? I only visit GA when visiting my son and his family in Aiken, SC which is located near Augusta.
