Hello Tim
I’m a little new to this civil war relic hunting some please pardon the ignorance of my question.
The larger chunks of metal you show in your photo I’m I correct in assuming these are large chunks of lead that was used in the making of their bullets on the battle field.

I have another question also if you permit. I have found a bullet with three rings, with the number of these rings is this a way of telling if it was Union or Confederate?

Great looking finds there! Any button with an eagle on it is a great find! Congrats!

 

[oberkill]

Looking good as usual! I am hoping the ground is still unfrozen this weekend so I can spend the whole weekend hunting. I have a free pass this weekend as its my birthday the Monday after!

Thanks Civil, someone else posted one just like it but he didn't know anything about who the bust is supposed to be, my buddy John thinks it might be Andrew Jackson. It's another relic mystery I guess. Have a great Christmas. Tim

Looks like a fun and successful hunt!
