Finally broke my CW slump: rifle lock, CS shell frag, and a bit of lead

Hey ya'll. I've been in a bit of a Civil War slump lately. We've been spending our time looking for a few camps that just don't want to be found... yet. So last weekend we headed back to the Battle of Bentonville to see if we could find some relics, specifically the area of Mower's Charge on the third day of battle, March 21st, 1865.

I'm pretty happy with my finds for the day. The enfield bullet is only my 3rd one ever, but the second from this particular field. The frag is from a CS pentagonal cavity shell. My favorite find for the day was the lock plate, which I think is from an Enfield, though I'll probably never know for sure. I think it cleaned up pretty nicely.

Anyways, I hope you enjoy the pics
