Hello all,
We had a nice Saturday (a little windy though) and went out to the Civil War camp again. It started out a little slow but we finished strong. We were finding the usual wire and square nails and I did find about 15 horse shoe nails in one area. I will start off with my finds (first pic). I gota nice 3 ringer, another 3 ringer that has had the tip rammed down. Three colt .44 ( I think) pistol bullets, a odd looking tear drop shaped bullet (smaller than the others) and another bullet with no grooves slightly larger that the .44 bullets, two pieces of lead and what I think is a buck ball. Two Spencer cartridges (?) a small brass disk, no holes or markings (very thin) and two brass cases with a “U” head stamp (I believe these are post war).
As usual my wife out did me. She got five 3 ringers (one has been pulled). Seven pistol bullets (one has a cut mark in it from a knife) what looks like a carved 3 ringer and a buck ball, three pieces of lead, a Spencer cartridge (?), a percussion cap, the hook of a J-hook, 4 button backs (and a couple pieces of the front) and a couple pieces of brass. Any info that you can give on these finds please feel free to say so as we are just learning.
Thanks for looking
