I like those Sharps Hutch. Very few places in our local area have Sharps bullets. I have no idea on the pin. Nice finds, Quindy.
 
Nice finds. I agree that the flag is probably post civil war. I don't remember seeing any pennants with cities on them in the war. A lot of finds are found in camps that have nothing to do with the civil war. A lot of people may have covered that ground in the last 150 years. It is still a great find. Maybe from the 1893 Chicago World's Fair that a visitor brought home :dontknow:
 
Good call about the worlds fair!
 
Anytime I see the word the letters CW in a post I have to stop. Nice bullets for a days dig. Love the sound of them on my machine. :icon_sunny:
 
Congrats Nice bunch of lead.
