One bullet is still a great hunt to me. Is that a Gardner?

relic nut maybe you can help me. I’ve found over 40 3 ringers at this spot it was obviously a camp site because everyone of them where dropped. .64’s and 58’s all hollow in the base some with 5 lines some without. Well at the same spot I get this one and was disappointed and surprised it wasn’t a dropped then just realized it’s not a three ringer and has a flat bottom and it’s flat on one side. What do you think? It doesn’t look like any of the other ones at all II am just so use to getting dropped three ringers I remember thinking this one was ugly.

OK I’m ready to start tripping but before I start trippin do they have flat bottom ones?

 

[relic nut]

I don't think it's a Gardner. They didn't have a flat bottom. Perhaps it's a Sharp's. Google CW bullets and compare it to similar ones. Size and weight will also help.

Here's a .54 cal. Sharp's..does yours have the indentation?

 

[lairmo]

Nope ...too pointy...

 

[Truth]

No that not it. Flat bottom

 

[lairmo]

What caliber is it?

 

[lairmo]

OK..last guess.. .52 Sharp's Carbine Flat Base...scroll down to 'lot 26..no.3....' Civil War Bullets - Relics, Buttons, and Brass

EDIT: click on image 4 on lot 26

Maybe it's a Spencer carbine.
Here is a picture of a Spencer and a Sharp's.

Yes I think so.

Very cool find. We don’t have to many of those in my parts. Can’t wait till I finally find one.
