Not sure if all of it is period stuff, but the bullets for sure are. They may be carved bullets, but really hard to tell. They may have just impacted funny pressing in the head of the bullets like they shot em into hollow tube too small for them to fit. Don't know. The 'wire' looking thing I think is most of knapsack hook minus the round keeper.

I am told these are pulled bullets. They would use a tool to grab them and pull em out of the barrel when they got into camp or the powder got wet. I hope this is correct because that would mean I am on or very near the camp, but the finds have been very sparse.
 

Great bullets G! I'd go back and hunt there again! :o

;)
 

Very cool bullets...makes me wish I were in an area with such rich military history!
