Wild and Wonderful West Virginia!!! A few CW firsts for me.

[tymcmurray]

Civilman called early this morning, and we decided to chance the rain and hit the fields.
We got lucky and the rain missed us all day.
I had a great day, for me.
My first .58, and it is a Washington Arsenal with a star inside. A dropped bullet.
My first fired .58.
My first .69 musketball.
My first Williams Cleaner (?) Only one ring?
An Enfield and another fired .58.

I wish I knew more about CW bullets. . . the only bullets I've found so far are modern stuff (.22's & copper-jacket .45's)

The (cleaner?) looks awesome!

I'm sure it's a cleaner. Just can't find an example with one ring.

Very nice finds! I've only found 1 of the washington arsenal. I agree, the other looks like a williams cleaner type 3 but I've never seen one with just one ring. Keep up the good work!

Re: Wild and Wonderful West Virginia!!! A few firsts for me.

the only rounds I've found came from a 380 semi, don't see too many CW bullets around here. Nice finds

Thats a nice bunch of bullets, I dug a bullet out of a hut at the last Div8 in Oct 07. It also had a star in the base. Its a nice find.

Nice boolits man.

Yep it's a williams cleaner. The bottom piece and "the stem" are made of zinc and would help clean off the softer lead from the inside bore. It looks like I can see 2 or 3 rings in the actual lead part.

It also looks like it was rammed in hard or had a nother bullet put on top of it before it was fired. That would explain the pointed nose. Try putting the washington arsenal bullet on top and see what I mean.

Way to go.

Hi Ty,

Cool bunch of bullets. I would go back again and then again. That's a cleaner alright. I found a one ringer last week also.
