Ball State University students Cole Dejongh and graduate assistant for the field day program Amanda Balough on Tuesday search for artifacts in Fort Recovery as 9-year-old Coldwater resident Russell Moorman helps Ball State student Bryan Mitchell sift through excavated dirt. Ball State students may have unearthed a foundation of one of the blockhouses from the original fort built in 1793, although tests must still confirm the accuracy of the identification. Work at the site continues through June 17.
