I think I found a .54 carbine

I went to my favorite spot after work yesterday and found a few older casings and what I believe is a carbine casing from the Civil War.

Sure looks like the picture. Nice finds.

Sure looks like one based on your pictures - hopefully it is Ben. Thanks for sharing...

Looks like an empty Burnside cartridge. Nice find

Definitely looks like a Burnside cartridge. I would hit that place hard.

It sure looks like a Burnside. I am not sure about the base it almost looks fired.

I would also lean to Burnside...regardless, a tremendous find, and a site that you will have some fun getting into.
Nicely done!

I find something CW everytime i hunt there but they are turning it into a walking trail-park so time is short. Pretty soon it will be very hard to MD there. The construction crew found a cannonball while digging and had it destroyed! I'm hitting it hard every day I can.
