Very Nice finds .
From the Real old , to pretty old ,to Old.

Very nice 'Point ' u found , 'They hide from me'.

Hard to tell the 'Scale' but Is that a patina'less Gardner Bullet?

What's up with the Silver Pieces ?

Great work cleaning the Iron , Cool Lock , & Love the Gun Hammer ....I have never dug a G-Hammer .

Heck I like all your finds.

The Gardner bullet was crusted over, but when I put it in the ultra sonic it all came off.

I have no idea about the silver. All I know is the property was reportedly a former civil war camp. Only thing standing is an old rock and mud chimney. I found both pieces in close proximity to where the house would have stood. They both came out of the ground tarnished, looking like lead. My detector said silver, so I chemically tested them and both were positive .995 silver. How they got there, or why, I don't have a clue.

An archeologist said the g hammer looks to be from a P1853 enfield
