✅ SOLVED CW site find.

[relic nut]

Found this today at the site where I found a 6lb Cannonball last weekend. It was found in the breast works of a Confederate defensive position. I have no idea what it is. It is iron and was 12" deep. Thanks for any help.

Looks heavy, maybe the base of a cross or something.

That's it. Thanks. Is it period for CW? If so, that's cool because it was found in a breast works. Thanks for the quick ID

Yes, I'd say a coffee grinder was an essential piece of camp equipment and it would have been something used on a daily basis during the war.

Hey - that's pretty cool, and I've never heard of a piece of a coffee grinder found in a CW site, but it makes perfect sense.
