Can you say what battle it was. Those are some nice MD items.Must have been some cannon fire going on with that grape shot.

Not until Im done detecting there. It had been detected before, but not much except where the soldiers were pinned down. Stuff was deep. I used my ATX and routinely found stuff from 15-24"

There was one howitzer there. At least 2 canisters were fired and 6 balls, based on the amount of fragments and shot and the patterns. I logged all coordinates with GPS.

Great finds.

Do any of the Spencer casings have an S.A.W. headstamp?

Incredible finds. Are these Civil War or Indian War artifacts?

In the first photo of the display case, what type of cartridge casings are in the lower left corner? They look like the 45-70's but are a bit larger in diameter. Great stuff!!!!!

None of the casings had any headstamp, except one Henry.

Indian War artifacts. Those are Spencer casings. There are also 2 dropped unfired Spencer Shells there too.

In that case then you have at least 6 Bormann fuses yet to be found on your site.

Yep, we found one. Stuff is deep though. That thin stuff doesn't ring up as good as lead lol

You have a pic of the fuse?

 

[jagchaser]

A friend found it, so its not in my collection.

 

[jagchaser]

Its possible they double loaded the cannon for a few shots, so there may not be as many fuses as I was hoping for.

Really cool finds thanks for posting. I'm not into metal detecting but those are unique in any collection
