Thanks. I'm sure there are buck shot in the area I was hunting. I wasn't digging low conductors yesterday. I found .58", .54" & .69" rounds. They were using everything available.Those are excellent finds!
I am always curious if the round balls are part of a buck and ball load or if it belonged to troops still carrying smooth bore muskets.
I found a Virginia button at this spot 20 years ago. It fell apart in my hand. You can always hope though.Looks like you are onto a nice honey hole there. Hope some nice buttons come out.
Thanks.by gosh if i were to stumble on that here in Atlanta, I would camp out overnight and get up at dawn and hunt some more.
Do you have trouble with modern metallic trash where you hunt relics?
It is terrible here where I hunt in urban Atlanta.
Oh, and yes a very nice bunch of bullets.
Sorry that 3 ringer got in your way Nice dig!
Thanks.NICE Confederate lead; what state may I ask did you recover these? PA?
