I FOUND THESE ITEMS ALONG THE OLD RIVER ROAD WHERE I HAVE BEEN HUNTING LAST NIGHT. A CIVIL WAR CAMP/ BATTLE AREA IS ALSO OVERLAPPING THE TERRAIN FROM MY INFORMATION..........CAN ANYONE IDENTIFY THE BUCKLE?

WHAT ABOUT THE SHOTGUN SHELL???

ALSO I HAVE A FIRED THREE RINGER BESIDE THIS FIRED VERY LARGE BULLET. IT APPEARS TO ME TO BE FROM A GATLIN GUN???

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY INFORMATION.

Won't say your wrong, however I've collected cartridges and shotshells for 60 years and I've never seen anything tike this. No primer and the whole thing seems to be metal, therefore something else.

interestin find

small%20arms%202%20big.jpg (1lb) aiming tube rounds. These solid lead shot are so common that my weight belt is made from them. It is less common to find a complete round with cartridge case still attached. Possibly ditched overboard as a miss fire. They were still in production well into the 1930's......The machine gun round was a tubular "Brass envelope" containing a cast iron penetrator core. The brass would take the rifling and the cast iron body would penetrate up to about 2" armour plating at approx. 300yds. range... small%20arms%204%20big.jpg so could be...check this out..Small Arms - Submerged
