I cleaned it up a little with a toothpick. I think the same you’re saying is where it’s flattened and it rose up a little bit

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

I’ve never found one in four years and then last year at this one spot in a city park I found over 40 dropped three ringers this one is the only different looking one. I remember my first one almost lost my mind because I wasn’t even expecting it. That was the best

No, I was saying the pic in the site I posted had a seam on the base the same as the pic that relic nut posted...?

Congrats! I’ve never found a CW bullet, guess I’m in the wrong part of PA to dig them.

Ok Spencer would make sense given the location and known unit camping there. So I found my first Spencer. Let it be said, let it be written.

pdnc seems like you’ve found everything else but. You’ve been killing it. I haven’t found one silver this year...or buff or V and I’m the Nickel Whisperer lol

I think its a spencer also. Williams cleaner one type was grooved but that bullet is to big for a cleaner. Nice hunt Truth!

Nice one. Keep after it T. Maybe a new permission is in order?

Congrats on finding a CW bullet that is challenging identification,, lol

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

I must agree , 1 Civil War bullet even fired will make a 6+ hour hunt worthwhile .

I do think that is a NICE dropped Gardner , to me that would = a GREAT DAY!

Truth is on Fire!

Cool !

I typed my reply before I read the posts , Sounds like we are 'Die Hard' Hunters , my last hunt was from 9 am -2 pm but it felt longer , I was getting sick , I have not hunted in 10 days & have not even felt like it , I'm starting to feel the itch , I may try to learn to swing again later this eve , the day's are a gettin longer.

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.

Sorry.

Now that I read the whole post (i should have done that first ) .

In My 'Humble' opinion ...You have a .52 caliber Sharps ' variant ' fired of course .

Similar to bullet # 115 a ; or 115 b in 'The Handbook of Civil War Bullets & Cartridges ' .

Still it does have a Spencer look .

Ahh this is getting the blood flowing & the brain working (good feelin ) , I know that with the time you put in & the holes you dig at-least a few of those (less Common in our States "Gardner bullets will get under your loop eventually , Yes they do have cavities , kinda unique looking ones.
Good afternoon.

Thanks Davers you know what they say if you’re getting the itch you gotta go scratch it. Lol

I guess it’s a Sharps but that makes it my first Sharps. I try to love all my military firsts ))
