Confederate Whitworth Bullet, Musket Trigger Guard, & More

[JBnNC]

I just cleaned up the finds from this weekend's hunt at a favorite Civil War site. I always love to find things that I've never found before and I found a couple of those on this outing....a fired hexagonal Whitworth bullet and a musket trigger guard. A nice bullet in wood piece and a Barber quarter along with a bunch of CW lead capped off a great weekend. --JB

That's a lot of lead! The bullet in wood has, so far, eluded me. Nice finds!

That is a great hunt! The bullet in wood is also high on my list. Congratulations on some great saves. Sites like that are becoming rare.
