heading to south central Missouri this weekend

[kansas_roger]

We are headed down to south central Missouri (30 miles south of West Plains) this weekend to visit family. I had a tip on some private land that may have had troops camped there during the Civil War, but that fell through. Does anyone have a good Civil War campsites map or source for info for southern Missouri? I just got my uncle started metal detecting, and I had hoped to hit a Civil War campsite so we could hopefully find some dropped bullets. The few hunts we've managed (around Alton, where they live) have yielded only clad. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

i have hunted that area with the same results.
be sure to locate the spring just west of alton,it is amazing,it comes from underground and polishes the small rocks that constantly boil under water as they are tossed like a fountain under the water, There are also some strange old building remains just past the spring on the left side of the road!
