2 Slugs

[steelheadwill]

Dug these recently,
no patina as from salt water,
both around .60 cal, first is 1 inch long, 2nd is 11/16"
They are from the site where I've dug very few modern items, & many 18th & 19th century military.
also now densely populated, I can't imagine any muzzleloading happening here lately.
Anyone venture a date on these?
thanks for Looking!

The larger is 615 Grain, smaller is 370, have not seen the base with small hole before.

I would say CW era, however some of the bullet experts will chime in. Cool bullets

Your three ringer looks like the "Minie ball" we find at civil war sites. The second bullet is a Williams cleaner with the zink base missing. Around our area here in Tennessee, the Williams cleaner was introduced during winter quarters of 1863-1864.

Great News! Thanks for the Help!!
Love being able to label these.
I can imagine the Ft/lbs of the impact from that monster slug!
