These finds are from my last few hunts. I found the three Schenkls today and the three Reads before that. The Reads are Confederate and the Schenkls Yankee. I think I am up to 15 shells so far this season. I also found a bunch of bullets and some other tidbits.
Here are some Civil war cartridges found at a battle site in the water. The big one is a Spencer carbine and the others go to a Smith and Wesson pistol (I think). They are both the long and short varieties. I don't often find whole cartridges in the water, and am very pleased to have found these.
Close up of some musket percussion caps...
Here is a huge axe I found today. I haven't had time to research it yet, so if anyone has a clue to its age or use, I'd appreciate the heads up. The bullet is for scale.
Thanks for checking out my post. Hope to see you out there!
