Thought you'd want to know a bit more about your civil war cannon friction-primer. It is an unfired one that was in a fire, which caused the gunpowder in it to blow open the copper/brass tube while leaving the primer's pull-wire still in place. If it had been fired, the pull-wire would be gone. Neat find. First one like that I've ever seen, in 40 years of digging and dealing civil war artillery relics.

That's incredible, site was certainly under seige by union forces, thanks for adding a story to the relic
