I finally hit the 1800's, I know that doesn't seem old to everyone on the east coast but I'm in Colorado and we didn't become a state until 1876. So here is my find a .56-50 Spencer carbine rifle cartridge by Sage Ammunition Works (1864-1866) Out of the other 3 I have ID'd the 3rd on as a .44cal Bartholow 1860ish. The middle one has teeth marks, bear maybe? and measures and matches Sharps (variant).50cal? If anyone can help on that one and the first one, I'll take it.

Well done! Just hit my first 1800s coin last week (after 12 years of off and on detecting). Good luck!

Hang in there, Coach. You will find that 1800's coin someday. Then you will put some other impossible item to find at the top of your list. I myself look at them as goals. They say people that set goals tend to meet them faster than people that don't. Well, I don't know why I'm trying to get you fired up... You're the Coach. Congrats on your 1800 finds and GL on your future hunts.
