Civil War LEAD and a few 1900s goodies

[Patriot Relics]

Hey guys,

Sorry for the delay, but wanted to share a few modest finds from my hunt last weekend. Gheenoe78 and I have had our eye on a potential battery site for some time however it hasn't produced much. Needing to scratch the itch before heading out of town, I set out on the yak and worked the adjacent bank. The site was riddled with modern copper bullets and buck shot so I really didn't give much attention to the few targets I did recover. Upon arriving home and sorting the digs it is clear that it was a turn of the century shooting range...given the 1900s era president's suspender clip, 1908 V Nickle and dozens of modern bullets.



The surprise came in the form a this curious brass tip and CW lead bullets. It received a mixed ID in the"What is It forum" as a possible scabbard tip, however the lead ended up being a fragmented 3 ringer and my 3rd Whitworth sharpshooter bullet (only after removing the outer shell of corrosion did I realize that it wasn't a modern shotgun slug).



All in all not a killer hunt, but better than a skunk Thanks for looking
