You can use ‘L’ shaped bent metal (a wire hanger will work) in the same manner as water witching to locate graves.

It is discussed here. http://www.respectourdead.com/index.php/cemeteries/lucas-county/grave-witching

I would think that satellite photos would show a change in vegetation that could illuminate likely sites.

As a general book of the war in the South, I recommend this book by my buddy David Wilson “The Southern Strategy”. He covers most of the war in the South up to and including the Siege of Charleston. He is planning another book at this time.

Last Summer I drove through the Brier (Briar) Creek battle field area and took pictures. The following link will take you to a slide show of those photos. We started at the bridge crossing Brier Creek and traveled up to Millhaven, where the Lobsterbacks crossed the creek to get at the American Camp.

Also, have some photos of the battle Kettle Creek. It was as the same time as Brier Creek but further north in Georgia.

If you chose the slideshow option, it works better.

Also, another friend of mine is in the process of designing a historical board wargame covering this battle. Interested parties would want to watch the GMT games website for this.
