First Enfield bullet and one with plug.

[shack24]

I found my first Enfield bullet today, then found 5 more! One still has the wooden plug tightly in place. I wasn't even aware that these existed until today or their purpose. I love doing the research when I get home about as much as the digging.
HH!

It's kinda amazing those boxwood plugs survive all those years in the ground
You're on the right area for some nice old finds

Nice recoveries. I've only found three Enfields with the plug still in them. Sometimes there will be a number inside of the Enfield bases. You have to look close.
Congrats,

Two of them have an "L" mark inside, but most of them are in too rough of shape to see.

Good finds..should be some good drops around the area you found these. Hunt that place hard.
Good luck
