November Civil War relic finds

[sekypaleo]

Hello all, Been south in east Tenn for the past 2 & 1/2 weeks visiting parents and doing some hunting. Best recovery was a bullet first for me, a CS .44 cal Richmond Labs pistol bullet....some of you may recognize this as the smaller brother of the .56 cal CS Merrill or what used to be known by McKee & Mason as a Morse. A scarce bullet and the second Richmond labs bullet I have found at this site, the other being what was known by M&M as a "foreign mold". Also got 3 more hard to find .52 cal Greene Enfields...these are generally only found in late war western theater sites (usually CS) and were used in .54 cal Mississippi rifles and .54 ca. Austrian Lorenz rifles. Thanks for looking and happy hunting!

Congratulations. You are very lucky to f ind so much in these times. Where I live almost everyone has an old detector in their closet and has done a little bit of hunting here in Chattanooga with so many sites and there is not much left to find. Congrats once again !
