Today's Civil War Saves

IT wasnt a monster day, but it was still enough to break me out of my month long slump. I found my first larger caliber ringtail sharps, and only my 2nd pinfire bullet with the cartridge still attached. I also got 3 rivets, including 1 with the leather still on it...........and some other goodies

A good day. You don't find those whole cartridges very often anymore.

WTG John!!! Nice relics. When I dug another pin fire bullet in the cartridge last month, I call Rafael Eldridge from Shiloh Relics (who appraises CW items on Antiques Roadshow) because the case looked different than other pin fires I had recovered. He said the cartridge case could be copper or brass. Yours looks like a brass cartridge. Nice saves. HH, Quindy in Tenn.

I had the pleasure of meeting Rafael about 2 years ago at Shiloh Relics while on the way to a club hunt. He's a total class act, just like the whole staff at the shop

Re: Today's Civil War Saves

Nice digs buddy. Looks like the brass piece was a Sword Hanger that's been bent out of shape I dug a couple of those pinfire bullets last weekend.....but I do agree with VAYank, they're definitely tough to find these days

Re: Today's Civil War Saves

That pinfire is really cool. Don't find ones that haven't rotted away very often. I have a few casings, but never found a complete one.
