Let Go Ballistic

[Eastender]

I'm new to this site this week and learning the ropes and rules. I have been posting some of my finds here, some of which go back some weeks or a month or two. I been hitting the field pretty hard and finding lots of things. My house is becoming a small museum. I have been posting my finds on Facebook to generate interest in my area's history but the response has been lackluster. So i was happy to find an outlet here with people excited about and dedicated to this hobby. But rules are rules so I will only post new finds. Sorry about that. Too bad, because I haven't even shown my coin finds which are old and plenty. Where to post them? Here are some recent shells and a gun flint. The 12 gauge shotgun shell is a first generation all brass Winchester re loadable and the others 40-82 WCF made for the 1886 Winchester lever action rifle of which i have nearly a dozen .

Those are some nice cartridges. I've found some old ones out in eastern Nevada near 1870s mining camps. It is fun to identify the old stuff and all the research can be done on-line. Good luck hunting!

I could use one of those 86's. Let's see, .45-70, shotgun butt, rapid taper barrel. Got an extra for sale? Gary

Those are nice. Mine always look like they got run over by a steam roller.

I'm squinting and guessing....Is that a French "amber" flint?

You're into some age regardless , Congrats!
