Title: Dalton show next weekend !!
Post by: Dave the plumber on January 30, 2016, 10:02:22 PM
hate to sound like a broken record, but who is going to the show in Dalton next weekend ??    I'll be extremely loaded down with 2 tables myself.  This is a great show, a lot of different dealers and buyers show up here. If you are on the fence about going, you'll thank yourself once you are there

I'll meander up there myself.  Looking forward to seeing the gang and finding some nice relics.  We'll have some nice bullets and a good variety of the big iron.  And Dave is right about the show being one you'll be glad you came to.  Always a lot of good relics to look at or buy.

Good time to drop off drillin' and cleanin'!!!  :)

Would love to attend that show.  If any of you see Barry Banks, tell him I said "Hi" and that I wish he still had his website running so I could still pick up good Georgia relics.

Will do. Barry was at Charleston and I got to spend a good bit of time talking to him. First time in a while even though he lives not far from me.  He seems to be doing well and getting more involved in the relic side of things again.  I think he said he would be at Dalton.

Do you know why he got out of the web sales?  Wish he would bring back the Civil War Outpost.  It was a great way to get relics from diggers digging at Dalton, New Hope Church, Resaca, etc.  Those are some great and important Western Theater battle sites and many of the soldiers who fought there went on to Sherman's March or Franklin.  Does anyone here know any other dealers selling good Georgia relics?

Well, besides me, there are a few who often have relics from around here.  Burnt Hickory Relics took their site down as well.  Like with Barry it got to be too much to keep it up.  Send me a private email with your contact information that you want them to use and I'll share it with Barry, David (Burnt Hickory Relics), James Grant, and some others that often have some relics from around here.  Stone Mountain Relics also gets a lot of stuff from old diggers of the area.  Of course, there is always WildMan's Civil War and Herb Shop in Kennesaw!  Toot Toot!

When I retire and move closer, I intend on visiting many of those shows to explore and buy projectiles.  Civil War relic inventories are kind of slim on the west coast!  Looking forward to someday meeting all of the folks that I talk to.

I hit the show during setup yesterday and it was good as always.  Lots of artillery projectiles, even more than usual I think, and buying and selling is brisk.  I have one overloaded Jeep Grand Cherokee hauling back literally a ton of stuff, much of which will make it onto the website in the next week or two.  Always nice to see the familiar faces and catch up with folks including quite a few forumites.

Here is a taste of the EXCELLENT selection of artillery that could be found in Dalton.  There was over 100 projectiles at the Bullet and Shell tables.  There were a number of other tables with ample iron too some of which are also tended by forum members.

Ok, RelicRunner didn't like my blurry picture so he sent a far better one:
