2nd camp firing range a few hundred yds. from the 1st 1 i found in early dec.(over 200 .69 musketballs & a few .69 minies).these are .58 minies,a few .577 enfield(2 w/plugs),top & bottom of a 3 part "shaler" & a possible revolving rifle slug.i assume these were dif.units w/dif. weapons.

i'm going back to look for that middle piece too!i found these enfield slugs & believe it or not i tied to clean what i thought was dirt from the cavity.......it was a plug.fortunately i didn't ruin the other 1(no plug in the other 2).

i didn't even know what it was,nor did i know that it belonged to the other piece....had to look it up!
