Mini Balls And A Soldier’s Wedding Ring

[Fullstock]

Got out to hunt an area today where fighting took place during the Civil War. After finding several fired bullets I found a spot where I found 10 dropped mini balls (including a chewed one), all within a 8 foot circle. After I dug the chewed bullet I found a man’s brass wedding ring about a foot away. I’ve read that the soldiers would give their gold rings to their wives and wear brass ones in the field. Makes me wondered what happened at this spot.

Nice finds! 👍 that’s an outstanding hunt to find that many civil war bullets & brass.

Thanks Mike, yes it was a decent day for 2025
