KT got to go with a fellow MDer today and spent 3 hours hunting a huge recently plowed field near the site of a documented CW battle near Lonoke, Arkansas.
Anywho, after 3 hours, His only CW find was the pictured pistol round, pretty sure from the oxidation it is CW era in origin. The dimensions are 10/16ths inch (.40625 in) diameter and 10/16th inch (.625 inch) in length. The round is flat based, not indented. Weight is 14 grams. Nice cream white oxidation.
Is this a .40 caliber or .41 caliber pistol round? It has been fired. Nice clean round apparently never hit anything!
I am seriously hoping it is CW in age as it would be my first Arkansas CW relic if it is!
Recovered a lot of other junk, including a 12 inch long handled crescent wrench (very rusty), a 5 inch long broken off filet knife blade (also quite rusty but also modern design), and a lot of small iron junk and one heavy piece of solid copper fitting!
Thanks for your assistance! Would like to know what type of pistol this was fired from if CW in origin....see pics.
