Civil War House! FOUND SOME GOODIES!!

[olekyground]

Hey all.

I went to an old civil war era house today. I have hit there before and found lots of good finds. My 1st find was a 1889 Indian head cent!! Dig some more and found my 1st carved 3 ringer. It appears that it had been carved to match with the newer bullets they used in the civil war later on. The ones with the gaps in between them. You can see where it ahs been carved out around the rim. Also found a half of a Ky token and an artillary friction primer. I also have a whatsit! It is an iron piece but appears to have a name on the side. From what I can figure out it appears to say Evelyn Gilmon? Any ideas what it is? I figured it may be a piece from the printing press. Or maybe a personal stamp? Thanks!!

That is a temporary printing plate made in a :"Linotype" machine,used from the late 1800`s to the 1970`s, some may still be in operation today.The lead could be melted and re-used, Great finds!

Can you define "troll" now?
[/quote]

troll/trōl/
Noun:
1. A mythical, cave-dwelling being depicted in folklore as either a giant or a dwarf, typically having a very ugly appearance.(I am good looking)

2. The action of trolling for fish.
Verb:
Fish by trailing a baited line along behind a boat: "we trolled for mackerel".

I prefer trolling for Musky or Striped Bass. You guys take this way tooooo seriously.
