Its of my opinion that there had to be between 1600 and 2000 warriors that day, and id venture to say they were everywhere. Im curious as to how many relics were found along the river.. Not in our time, but back in the day..

As everything of use out there on LSH and battle ridge was removed by the victors and carried back across the river into the camp, the location of battle relics has no credibility . cheers

Quite much which was not of use was not removed. I would say that virtually all, as in utterly all, the bullets remain where they landed, fell, tumbled and pinged other than thos finding a target at which they might deform and end up on the Far West, at Forts Pease or Lincoln, or have been carried along in Indian ponies until or if killed or dying in one way or other. I wonder if a carbine round .45-55 is it, would come straight down if shot straight up. Imagine your position is being over run. You shott straight up and retreat at speed. As your enemy arrives your shot drops upon them. A Parthian shot.

There are only two areas of anything approaching resistance on the field.... LSH and the Keogh area. And there is no evidence of that resistance being organised. In other words there was no controlled firefights. The action was a close quarter brawl in which the Indians made use of lost/discarded/captured cavalry weapons, thus rendering any attempt to suggest a flow of battle based on bullet/shell finds totally unreliable. The subject of relics was debated hereabout years ago in which the late lamented DC decisively saw off the relic hunters.
