Went out Saturday to a new site here in the Shenandoah Valley. My partner and I are close to a Confederate winter camp - but have yet to get into anything major. Still scouting at this point as its over a 100 acre site. Anyway, I did find this fired 54 caliber Ringtail Sharps. Also found what I first believed to be a musket ball. It measures 49 caliber, as my partner pointed out, it has what appears to be a ring or mark where a rammer forced it against the powder in the breach. It is heavy, very smooth and appears to be lead. However, no white patina. I've never seen a CW period musket ball without the white coloring. What do y'all think?
