Couple of encampment hunts gives up some lead.

[Johnny Ringo Silver]

I went out to an old civil war encampment site and managed to pull up some good lead. There was 2 different trips out there so you will see 2 different group photos. It never gets old digging up the old lead.

Yah, at first I was thinking someone just shoved it into a 7-sided barrel. Looked like they rammed it pretty hard! Now, i'm just not sure what going on with it. It's definately different.

What is the thing in the first top row, second to the right? I found one in a corn field not long ago. Great finds...love the lead. It's so pretty coming out of the ground!

Matt, second "from" the right is a rivet. These were used on different leatherworks and can be found in various sizes. I dig them often on old camp sites. They ring up sweet.

Well, if it was a whitworth rifle, it was still a 3-ring bullet crammed into it.lol
Looking at a few fired whitworth bullets, they just don't look the same as mine, but they were actually "whitworth" bullets.
