VOL1266-X and I went to a Confederate Cavalry Camp in Middle Tennessee. We split up, he went south and I went north, trying to locate any Civil War relics. My first finds were five 44-caliber bullets. All were located within two feet of each other. This must have been where a soldier unloaded his pistol. VOL1266-X came by to check on my progress. He hadn't found anything at that time. We went to where a spring was located and started digging more bullets. He found a 54 caliber Burnside, 69-caliber round ball, and a 36-caliber round ball. He also found the bottom off of a Confederate stirrup. Next to the spring, I found a 36-caliber bullet and a 69-caliber round ball. I also dug up part of a spoon and two flat buttons. I was told the carved bullet is pretty rare. The soldier cut a plug out of a 58-caliber bullet and pushed a 36-caliber bullet into it. Before I cleaned it up, I thought it was just a fired bullet because it looked messed up with all the dirt on it. VOL1266-X measured the bullet to determine that it was a 58-caliber bullet. I also found a 1945-P nickle and some melted campfire lead. Thanks for looking.
