civil war bullets

These two bullets are .65 in long, .4114 diameter. The one on the top is 144 grain, on the bottom 148 grain. Both have the form of a Lemat with the most salient difference being the curvature at the waist. Can anybody provide a positive identification?

Hello all, I recently found a box of civil war bullets in an abandoned house that was being torn down. Most were obvious enough to know what they were when I saw them. My question is about the two on the right in the bottom row. I'm guessing that the farthest right on the bottom row is a musket...

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the best, or very well respected civil war bullet/round ball identification book (with pics and information)? I would like to order such a book for reference purposes. :thumbsup:

Hello all, Hit the jackpot at a family friend's farm a few miles north of Antietam Battlefield in Maryland. Pulled only a fraction of the bullets that are in the ground out. After plotting all of our finds on a map, it seems like there might have been a little undocumented skirmish. These 50...

I hunted an old park today then went to a friends house in the neighborhood near the park. I'm still hunting with a BH beginner detector so the trash was making me work today. I will for sure go back, maybe tomorrow! Here are my finds. ID anything if you can! Thanks y'all! Small Bullet not...

So I was at a park that is decently old. Not sure exactly how old. Here are three different bullets the smaller one is modern I'm sure but what is it? Also two lead bullets. One looks like an enfield. Let me know y'all. Thanks! Here is the small cal. Here is the mangled lead. Here is...

The Civil War relics keep piling up at this site I keep going to. So far,I've found 4 bullets,an Infantry button,a variety of round balls,a 2 flat buttons,and a medical surgery tool. It was like 90 degrees yesterday and was miserable but,I decided to see if I could search an area of the field I...

I am going to TN/KY this summer and does anyone know good sites to go to preferably Civil War sites that are legal to detect? :dontknow: I'm ten years old and I love history as well have many ancestors that fought in these areas. Now you may think this: He's only ten he must not be mature...

Here is a small assortment of finds I've picked out of some very trashy & hunted out sites over the past week or so. There are a couple of Civil War bullets, (some 69 cal. round balls, some 54 cal. round balls, and 1 44 Cal. Sage pistol bullet. The balls came from a "hunted out area". The 44...

Wow, I went back to my spot today that produced the 32 Spencers and gorgeous North Carolina and Connecticut buttons. Today I plucked out an unreal condition New York officers cuff button. I am just speechless at how gentle this soil is to buttons. I have pulled three state buttons now, two...

I'm very pleased with a current trend of mine. A few months ago I found a nice Virginia button only 5 feet away from an eagle general service button. I think I topped that today with gorgeous Connecticut and North Carolina buttons found only 7 feet apart. I found both of these only feet from the...
