It keeps coming

[MasonDixonMding]

Went out yesterday and today. The day before I found a civil war camp. After yesterday I’m sure it was a small camp. I found nine more dropped bullets. I haven’t dug many so its fun digging them. Tried my luck again today. No civil war but I did come across a KG2.

Nice job on the minis. The ones with the hole in the top were pulled out of the rifles.

The icing on the cake is the KGIII.

Thanks. I have done a lot of black powder deer hunting in my past. So I’ve pulled a few out over the years. There were so many pulled here in one spot it makes me wonder why? Maybe a day of heavy rain? I’m a out doors guy but living outside 24/7 for years, not to mention marching all over the country. These guy where tough!

I was a CW reenactor for 12 years and also shot black powder rifles and pistols. Haven't gone shooting in something like 23 years. Do you need an FFL to buy black powder?

Tough to say why so many were pulled but if I remember correctly one rifle was found at Gettysburg with something like 25 rounds in it.

I haven’t bought powder in twenty years. I still have plenty.

I'd love to find a civil war bullet.

Nope

I’m not sure if they are or not. I’ve heard that hogs will chew on them. These where found in a field, maybe at some point it was on the surface and was run over a few times? The bullet your looking at is different than the other ones. I plan on showing it to some people that know a lot more about them than me.
