Found this in the dirt with some older items that appear to be from the late 1800's - early 1900's, little glass medicine type bottles and a piece of purple glass the looks like it could be a part of a bowl or something.

This makes sense, especially for the area that I'm in right now.

If you haven't already get a gps tag so you have lat/long coordinates and take it to your local museum. Chances are they'll have a fairly detailed list of what went on there artillery wise and between location, size and shape they should be able to narrow it down.

That's a really good idea. I'm only here for a few more days but I should be able to get in contact with some of the local places for info.
