Hello all,

I got out with a buddy today to a Civil War fort site in Central Kentucky. This fort was supposedly attacked and captured by John Hunt Morgan during his 1862 Christmas Raid. We started hunting a previously unhunted part of the fort that is now on the edge of a golf course and we started getting lots of fired lead! After about an hour or so of hunting we both had a pocket full of bullets. I ended up getting nine .69 caliber round balls, four .32 caliber pistol balls, two .36 caliber pistol balls, two fired minies, two dropped minies and one .32 caliber Colt bullet. This is the most Civil War lead that I have found in one day! My hunting buddy ended up getting ten .69 round balls, two .32 round balls, one fired minie, and one really nice .36 Tear Drop bullet. All in all I would say it was a really productive day! Man, I wish this stuff could talk!! Enjoy!

HH!
