Civil War / Colonial Finds from Yesterday

[mudslideslim]

got out for 3 hours yesterday and managed these goodies. the big flat button has a nice drilled shank. I believe the three-ringer is of the CS variety due to it's enfield flat base and look. all came from an area the size of a living room and amongst a TON of modern scrap.

Nice finds there! I cant' wait to find my 1st 3 ringer.

Cool stuff. The 3 ring bullet is confederate. We always called them Austrians because the base and rings are similar to a .69 Austrian. From the pic your bullet looks like a .54. The other bullet is a US sharps carbine.
