Mrs. Dorris and Mrs. Grudzieski's classes at Northside Elementary had Mr. Dimmick come and present to the students about artifacts that he has dug up himself (he does archeology on the side).
The students had studied the Battle of the Alamo and the Battle of San Jacinto in reading and he brought many artifacts that he had discovered from the Mexican armies and their various campgrounds. Some of the things they had lost along the way. Some of the artifacts were from close local places like Spanish Camp and East Bernard.
Examples of artifacts: 6 pound cannon ball, bullets from the muskets, heart guards, buttons from Mexican soldiers uniforms, wagon nail, sight from a musket, musket barrel, shoulder strap of the musket, coins, and shards of shrapnel.
