Complete Spencer cartridge.....my first!!!

[Jpro]

I have a great passion for digging Civil War relics. I've dug these cartridges before but just the brass cartridge ..never the complete thing so it's really cool to finally getting my first complete round. Whoo hoo!! Oh and the other 3 ringer was my first find today..hunted for 1 hour most.

Thxs brad,
By the way, been reading your thread. As has been suggested you really should be digging and sifting at the entrance to the cave..my guess is no white man has sit foot in there..only native if that..you should find out soon by digging. Keep us posted and good luck!
