What a georgeous day yesterday spent with the family and MonkeyBoy crew! Hit a great spot that always produces. Everyone was finding relics, from bullets to buttons. We dug some sharps, three ringers, round balls, ringtail sharps, and I think two Georgia teet bullets or something. Not quite sure. They have three real shallow rings around the base and at the point there is a squarish protrusion of lead. Also dug a springfield hammer, piece of a us plate skin only and many iron items and bit chain. What a great evening!

Those Georgia Teat Base bullets are not easy to find. Sounds like you guys had fun. HH.
 

Re: Civil War relics...an afternoon hunt!...Pictures ADDED

Thanks everyone. Just added the pictures again.
 

lots of nice bullets :icon_thumright:
 

Nice digs. The hammer appears to be from a US Model 1842 musket.
