William's Cleaner zinc base and post....lead-free.First one....

It was supposed to be nothing but snow and freezing rain today.....Mother Nature took a wrong turn.I hit the same field I hit on Wed. and found a William's Cleaner base(zinc) with the post still attached.I've found them whole or the lead without the base but never just the post....Alway's wondered what they looked like without having to disect one,now I know.Added a Enfield to the collection too!....Threw my Wed. Cleaner in the pic for comparison.Thank's for looking.....HH!! Gotta appreciate the CW 8)

Civ,

Man your "cleaning" up on those Cleaners...

SWEET...Very Nice,

Nick
It's wierd Nick...I've got 3 farm's that saw action at Antietam and have never found a cleaner round.(That was the real McCoy I guess) This field I hunt outside of Harpers Ferry has yielded 6 to this date.I'll take it!!

Very nice Cman! Seems like I should find those as well or something like them. Many soldiers camped around my area, probably why I find so many musket balls with the mold nipples still attached. HH, Mike

Civil,
I just found this post. Congrats on the cleaner.
I think you just answered my question. I just dug a mystery lead piece yesterday, and I think it may be a cleaner base like yours.
What do you think?
