4 long months, but I'm back. Buttons & Bullets. Need help w/a weird one . . .
Been too darn hot for an elderly gent to hunt. (Some shoulder and knee problems didn't help) Today was beautiful. New permission yielded zilch, but moved on to find an old favorite spot partially available! So I hit my yankee camp for about 4 hours this afternoon. Two Eagle buttons, a NY cuff, and a couple of cool flat and civilian buttons, plus two rivets with leather made me very happy since my plowed field is usually cruel to relics.
A Gardener (Precious few in this Union camp), and some 3 ringers rounded out my first hunt since May.
But what is this weird guy? Appears to be about .69 cal. Shown with standard .58s for scale. I've never run across one of these. Anybody know? (Also posted in "What Is It?")
