Found 20 bullets, all but 20 civil war

[Phishfarmer]

Dug a lot of lead but all of it is modern. I had hopes for one bullet but it has an odd base and I don't see any rings so I'm thinking it's modern too. I did find an Eagle "I" button so I can honestly say I wasn't skunked. Here are the finds:


Here's the button:


Here's the bullet I don't know:

You did dig at least one civil war military bullet... it appears to be a Williams Patent "bore-cleaner" bullet. (All of those are .58-caliber.) It could be a Williams Type 1, which had a base-stud like what we see in your photo... or a Williams Type 3, which had a flat disc attached to the base-stud, with the disc broken off from your bullet. If you found it at a Siege-of-Petersburg site (1864-65), the statistical odds favor it being a Type 3.
