Civil War Bullets I finally got around to cleaning...

MonkeyBoy · Aug 16, 2009

This might not fit "Today's Finds" if so..sorry... have not been able to get out digging.. have an eye issue going on soo I started cleaning out the bowl I put bullets in if I don't have time to clean them after digging. soaked and hit them with a toothbrush last night and this morning... these are mostly from one sight that I have been digging on and off since I found it last winter.

The flat buttons are form a mix of sites but a bunch came from a cluster of old cellar holes near where I found the CW relics plus some others from random places.

Thanks.. I have the better ones in cases... carved.. rare.. etc... and then a "few" one the wall in old printers trays.. I've been very lucky over the years and could not possibly display them all... Don't hate me but... I put them in mason jars and use them for door stops in my house!! ;-)

These are all related to one skrimish so they will end up in their own display.. once I'm done pounding the spot.. this is the same site my son found his first US plate.. that was a great day!!!
