Well I went back to one of the civil war camp sites and hunted for a couple hours and mannaged to find a few more relics. Looks like a soldier must have been missing home from the looks of the second picture. :laughing7:

Thanks, oneeye. We still have a little snow on the ground here, but not enough to have to shovel it.

Just keep your powder dry and yourself warm.

Nice finds peanut. The bullet in the 2nd pic shows the impression from the ramrod on the top. I had always wondered how the bullet was removed as it was not pulled or fired. A local relic expert told me that the soldiers kept the breechplug greased to facilitate easy removal to save bullets. HH.
