2nd attempt finds more CW bullets & a few whatsits

After work today I went back to the spot where I found the CW bullets and arrowhead the other day. They have cleared all the way down to the stream now, so there is a lot more area for me to cover. There will be two more large sections cut out through the woods once they have this section fully cleared, so I'm sure there will be more goodies to be had. I've gotten to know the crew there, and they love seeing what I find. I waited until they called it quits for the day, and then detected about 90 minutes. That's all I could stand in the heat, and also having gnats constantly buzzing my ears & eyes. What is with those d-mn things!!! I don't know how many time I smacked myself with my shovel & towel trying to shoo them away.
I did pretty good again today, finding more bullets & a few items I could use some help IDing.
I'm really happy with the variety of bullets I've found at this spot these last two hunts.

*Any info on the bullets & whatsits would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for looking,
MM

Doug Dude, you have been doing veeeeery well on Civil War buttons recently. That site is yielding you some nice keepers.

Here's to finding many more three-ringers and other Civil War relics there, Doug!

3 ringers and williams cleaner type.
The one chewed up one looks to be a 3 ringer too.
The rest of the stuff looks modern, even down to those copper jacket.
Cap looks like some old hub oil seal cover, but I guessnot out of copper.

Good group of bullets and assorted miscellany.

Thanks Kyle.
Where in the heck are the coins? Didn't the Indians or CW soldiers carry them? I thought Indians had IH pennies or wooden nickels at least? It has been an interesting spot finding both Indian artifacts and CW relics too. I love it!!!
I still need an LC before the years over and an 1800's silver to meet my goal for 08'. I'm not giving up.

Thanks for the ID's WR. The chewed up one looks like a point was formed by hand for some reason.
I like that word "miscellany".

Doug,
Quit being a wimp, man! Take one for the team. Those finds are worth it. I'm telling you, you better save me at least one bullet when I come down in a couple months! You find those like we find wheat pennies.

Nate and I were out Monday morning. It got hot (up to low 80s) but the sun was killing us. We quit because we were not finding any civil war bullets.

Thanks Stan. I'll save a few for you to find your next time through here.

Thanks Mike. You are in the bullet capital of the world there in Virginia, so it shouldn't be long before you find some.

A whimp you say? I'll have you know I got my new tennis shoes dirty, so there! Low 80's HEAT you say, and it was killing you guys. Man, that's like a winter day here in NC.
I don't feel bad for you one bit for not finding any CW bullets, because you guys find all the good coins up North.
Take care Buddy. Hope all is well. The kids (young adults) are both back at school this week.

Re: 2nd attempt finds more CW bullets & a few whatsits

Nice finds,

Hate them damn nats and flies. They have chased me out of some sites this yr. They are getting worse and bigger every yr.

Re: 2nd attempt finds more CW bullets & a few whatsits

Folks, for gnats and flies I have had good luck with Avon Skin so Soft. Some swear by it and some say it doesn't work.

Re: 2nd attempt finds more CW bullets & a few whatsits

Doug, you're going to have some collection of bullets once your hunts at that construction area come to an end.

Nice Job!!

PS - Yes, those flies/gnats are terrible in some of my turf areas over here too. I have to wear sunglasses, because if I don't they like to fly right into my eyes.

Don't worry, Doug Dude, if those North Carolina pioneers dropped some coins, they will be cut pistareens and Spanish cobs. We, here in PA, have to settle for those corroded coppas.

Now, get out there and find us another "piece of eight."
