Another Great Day. My first Washington Arsenal Confederate Star Base 3 Ring Miniball

Found all of these today at my normal spot. Lots of camp lead and a few other goodies to include my first Washington Arsenal Star Base 3 Ring Miniball Bullet and first Williams cleaner bullets. A nice large Flat button as well.

The Star-Based Washington Arsenal bullets are in fact not Confederate and are strictly Union made and for the most part Yankee used in the war. Anyways great finds! My first and only 2 came on the same day! Love those Williams Cleaners though!

Thanks "ekeisler". I have heard two different versions of who actually made them and who had actually used them. good to know.

Excellent star base 3 ringer acm3 My first ever 3 ringer was a Washington arsenal star base. Haven't found another one since, but it is a lot of fun to clean the dirt out of the base in hopes I get another one.

I came across a picture online yesterday to try and figure out what kind of bullets I had found (later ID'd them as the Williams Cleaners posted above) while researching I saw a post for a star base. I NEVER KNEW TO LOOK ON THE INSIDE OF THE BULLETS!!!!. HA HA... so i grabbed all the bullets I have found in this area and started looking. Came across another 3 star base 3-ringers and a 6 spoke!!!

Good thing you looked! We call the "spoked" bullets "swaged" but I may not be spelling it right . . .
