Civil war camp

Today I went to a campsite of the 3rd Maryland Calvary. I didn't get many hits before the sunlight faded but got quality hits. The first pic is obviously a stirrup. The second I think is a cannonball fragment and I think the third is part of a bridle.

Welcome to the forum. That's a neat stirrup, and may be a candidate for electrolysis. The ring is probably from some type of horse tack. I can't tell what the other item is. Neat finds Breezie

Thanks Breezie! I'm pretty new to all of this so please tell me how and where can I get electrolysis done??

You can do electrolysis yourself. There are several threads about it here on TreasureNet which explain how to do it, but below is from an outside source, if you happen to have a battery charger. If not then its explained here somewhere with an old plug-in transformer, like the type that your (no longer needed) answering machine up in the attic has.

1st picture doesn't look like a shell fragment, but the same thing on the 3rd image looks like a fragment off a polygonal shell, but the view from picture 1 pretty much confirms that it isn't.

Good luck with the electrolysis and please BE CAREFUL . . .I've never been a fan of electricity and water. I look forward to seeing the results. Breezie
