CW Bullets Found

[Curious The George]

Hunting with other two MDers and enjoyed ourselves even if not a very productive day. Other than a few clad coins the best to turn up was these two CW bullets. The area we were searching had both a Colonial and CW history associated with it.

One smashed flat with a blacksmith made square nail having been driven through the skirt area and the other a fairly perfect unfired bullet. The smashed one seems to be of the same type as the good one. If you squint real hard you can see the rings match.

If anyone can identify the good bullet I would appreciate it.

the bullet on the right appears to be a Gardner bullet...mostly used by Confederate side.

Thanks for the ID gxray. And thanks for the good comments from everyone else.

Do these have any monetary value or are they just curiosities? If they have value what would anyone estimate?

Around 2 bucks for most bullets. I have several confederate Gardners and they are priceless to me. Cool find and if I were you keep hunting that area. The place where I found my Gardners, I also found a script I button, a block I button and 3 block A buttons. Confederate stuff is real hard to find in these parts so it's like gold to me. Great find on yours.
