Gardiner explosive bullets

I found some more Gardiner explosive bullets. These were only used in two major battles, Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. After that they were deemed too barbaric for use and abandoned.

Congratulations on the lead.
Just read up on those and they're worth a good amount.
That's a great day of digging.

Thanks buddy, Yes they are good bullets. I've been lucky to have a spot that produces them still. I've dug ten so far this year. I've dug 17 of them total from there.

That's a great story. They aren't as expensive as they used to be, but all in all, most prices on the more common collectibles are not not going up. Too many young people who only know the internet. Something like that.

Thanks buddy. Im lucky to have a area that still produces them. I hunted this spot years ago & thought we hunted it out. Not even close.
