Blown up 1830's army issue powder flask.

I found this at my best site in a stone pile it is in bad shape but still a cool relic. Some one had a bad day probably tried to reload too soon after firing a shot and added powder to a gun with an ember still in the barrel and boom!

Very awesome. I'd truly love to find a relic like that.

Great piece of history but I keep thinking of what happened to it back in the 1860's ... Imagine the guy thinking , I'll just fill my musket with some black powder

KA BOOM ye-oowww

Oh boy that's gonna leave a mark

Thanks to all This is one of my prized relics that I will never forget finding and identifying. I have had a lot of interested buyers but to date I have never sold any finds.

Nice find!! I'm not sure what it is about stone piles/walls and flask but I have dug three in stone walls over the years??
