The Little Big Horn thread got me to thinking.  I want to go there.  But I have been fortunate to visit some other battlefield sites.

Gettysburg
Antietam
Vicksburg
Waterloo
Verdun
Paris.....sites of the street battles
Nancy, France.......serious WWII fighting
Omaha Beach/Normandy
London (the Blitz)
Chalmette (Battle of New Orleans)
The Alamo
San Jacinto Battlefield
Bird Creek (Texas Rangers vs. unwelcoming aboriginal peoples)

I'll think of some more.

Fort Sumter
The deck of the destroyer USS Laffey
Pearl Harbor
Bastogne
Remagen and various parts of Market Garden

And you?

Little Bighorn, the entire Normandy region, Cold Harbor and a lot of the other sites around Richmond.

One that might be a little more rare:  The Battle of Naseby.  The decisive battle of the English Civil War.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Naseby.  Also, Dover, which was the site of Julius Ceasar's invasion of Britain and where you can actually see the remains of one of the Roman lighthouses he built on each end of the harbor.  One was rebuilt into a chapel tower in Dover Castle (this article has a picture): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dover_Castle, the other became known as the "Devil's Drop" after it had disintegrated past immediate recognition; Drop Redoubt, a Napoleonic era fortress, later displaced it.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dover_Western_Heights

Those are the big ones that stick out. Lots of Revolutionary watr and civil war ones as well, but NOTHING compares to Normandy........NOTHING. You should be required to visit those beaches before you are allowed to vote.

Only one...

Basra; a lot of the wrecks from the "Highway Of Death" were still there when I went there in 2003 same with Highway 8; they merely pushed the wrecks to the side or built large tank graveyards nearby.

Been to the Chalmette La battlefield a few times.

I work next door to the Sabine pass fort and drive past the battlefield every day when I leave.
One of the guys we buy dirt from used to find cannon balls when he was digging out areas for slips.

Eta also been to fort jackson in La.

Gettysburg, Chickamauga and Kennesaw Mountain are the three biggest i've been to.

I've also been to numerous smaller War of Northern Aggression battlefield's such as Lookout Mountain, Tunnel Hill, Dalton, and Resaca. I also visited Fort Niagara which was really cool.

Chickamauga:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chickamauga



My g/g/g/g/grandpa was captured by the Federals at the Battle of Davis Crossroads (in link above), Sept. 11, 1863.



Also Missionary Ridge, Lookout Mountain, Kennesaw Mountain, Dug Gap, Mc'Lemores Cove, battlefields are everywhere down here.

Live near Kennesaw Mountain, Big Shanty, Picketts Mill, and Lots of other battlefields right before Atlanta fell. Metal detecting in this area (on private land as battles were everywhere) tends to be fruitful. Many people have  some VERY astonishing collections.
