Starting to get hot out here in the west, had to get in one last hunt before the snakes come out. Thanks for looking.....

That's a real productive hunt Cornspike. Really like the carbine sling tip and the company letter B.

Not a bad haul, not by any means. Looks like you had a good time out, for sure. I noticed the F.V.V & Co headstamp in a cartridge closeup. I was wondering if it had more than one strike in the rim from the firing pin. We have found that brand in our area that many times have multiple firing pin strikes, they would turn it after a misfire and try again until it fired or they gave up trying. I have one that has 7 strikes before it fired and another that has 6 strikes and they tossed it away unfired. Not a real comfort knowing your ammo reliabilty is lacking in the event of an attack by hostile persons. The cartridges were (here in western kansas) a .58 miller carbine and dated from 1865-1870 sites. What is the state and approximate date of your site?
