Civil War Candle Holder & More!

I've been getting out lately with Rob, Dickie & Tony Civil War hunting. Here is a look at my last 3 trips.
I found a 69 cal. bullet, 3 58's and a funny size bullet that has what looks like lead stuck in the bottom. It almost looks like the wood you find in the botton of enfields. But it's lead. A cleaner with the zinc plate broke off maybe?
I also found some other lead, an 1860 IH penny, 3 little buckles, a j hook, a bent up bell looking thing, a pipe stem, an arrow head, a underwear button and a homemade button.
I also found a Eagle "I" button with just the shank missing and 1st Corp Sphere badge. I saw it listed in the Crouch's book on page 161!
And I found a Iron Candle holder that's listed on page 41!
Thanks for taking the time to look at my finds!

Re: Civil War Candle Holder & More!

That Indian head penny looks like a 1880. They didnt make one in 1850(first year 1859). Nice finds,you have there!
 
Re: Civil War Candle Holder & More!

Oops! I hit the wrong key. It's an 1860 I.H.!
 
Re: Civil War Candle Holder & More!

Excellent finds, regardless of the year, IH are always a nice find.
 
Re: Civil War Candle Holder & More!

Looks like you all are in a good spot. The bullet is a US ring base sharps.

I don't know if you were aware of it or not but some of those candle holders have dates on the top.

Re: Civil War Candle Holder & More!

Nice CW finds. I don't think that is a Williams cleaner bullet. I like the candle holder. Congrats

Killer finds! That badge is a neat item--I don't recall seeing it in Crouch. The candle holder is a great find too--and some nice buttons to top it off.

Well done! :thumbsup:
