My first three ringers

[vhs07]

This may sound kinda silly to you seasoned CW hunters out there, but here in south Texas
CW finds are very few and far in between. A friend got me on some private property nearby
where CW items have been showing up and I came away with these. I'm waiting for an invite to
back. Really excited about these.

Great job trust me not Many in Mi either that's really cool you found a good spot hope you find lots more congrats

If you found three, there are more to be found there. The Williams bore cleaner bullet is a nice bullet to find anywhere.

Very nice. Congratulations

Congratulations on 3 cool CW bullets. I still love digging them even though I have found quite a few. You got a good permission and I hope you get to go back. Welcome to the CW bullet club. Keep swingin.

Hopefully, there’s a confederate button or better waiting on you out there! Good luck.

Great finds, and don't worry about the vet hunters, they get excited too! I love three ringers.

Yes i'm excited each and every time I dig even a 'Suspect' CW period .31 .36. .44 fired balls.

I still enjoy wheat cents , heck i'm happy when I find copper cents.

I wish you many more. P.S. Were these found in water or a wet area?

You know it JBnNC.

Hope the OP does not become obsessed as finding CW History is VERY Addictive.!

Yes, they were in a salt water marshy area. How can you tell?

Not silly at all. Great finds buddy, especially for TX.

That's 3 more 3-ringers than I have! I have 0 3-ringers to my name haha. Way to go!

Congrats on your first 3 ringers! I know the feeling because they are very rare in CT, yet I've happened upon a few in my travels.

They show a very light patina ( Not white or brownish -white) when found in water or wet areas . Some Bullets like my Burnside's tend to 'flake' their patina easily even with a soft toothbrush .

Great finds & Knowing where they came from is very important IMO.
