Gun Butt Plate

[kg6yll]

I found this Gun Butt Plate and these bullets at the Miners Camp tonight. I don't know anything about bullets so if anyone has any ideas post them for me.

Cool bullets. I am so envious of your ghost town hunts. I'm gonna follow you up there some day. LOL

Maybe this site will help you ID your bullets. It's a CW bullet site, but your bullets may be that old.

kg6yll,I think that "butt plate" is actually the "tang" of a rifle or musket. It's broken,but the two screws held the breach end of the barrel to the stock.

Nice finds KG - I'm no expert on bullets, but they look CW era to me, as does the gun plate.

Well done, thanks for sharing.
