Battle of Salem Church VA, which is a component of the May 1863 battle of Chancellorsville. I dug an unfired lead-slugs-type Dyer canister in a farmer's grassy field, about 40 feet north from the Orange Plank Road's edge, a few hundred feet east of the yankee Salem Church battlefield monument. Very unfortunately, my unfired Dyer canister had been torn to pieces by a farmer's plow. I'm sure it was unfired because I dug several dozen of its distinctive lead canister-slugs in an area no bigger than 10 feet across, and the ground was quite flat. Also, it was a few feet inside the yankee cannon-emplacement's position.
