Last weekends CW finds

[JimK]

Hello all,
We had some good weather here last weekend so the wife and I headed out for our CW Union camp. We did fairly good and managed 45 bullets, including several fired bullets, the coolest of which is a large fired three ringer. A couple of carved bullets. And even 2 .58 cal 3 ringers that have been sharpened to a point like a pencil. A few pieces of camp lead, one bullet casing in decent shape for a change and a button back. We as always found a bunch of wire, nails and farm junk, but who doesn’t. The interesting piece to me was a hand forged wing nut. I am not sure what it would have been used for but I think that it is neat. Anyway thanks for looking and as always any information on this stuff would be appreciated.

Thanks everyone for all of the nice comments. It is a very neat place and we are very grateful to have permission to be out there. We always take a lunch and make a day of it. We have found over 300 bullets and two breast plates at this "hunted out" site. And it shows no sign of stopping any time soon.

I would guess that the "wing nut" came off of a plow stock and was the nut that held the plow point on. I have found those before but they never had two "wings" on them just one...d2

We live in a small town just south of Lexington called Nicholassville. It is Central Kentucky.
