Seems like a cool find. Being a clueless Yankee - those must be rare to find. Was that rifle special?

Great finds Cman! I am watching a documentary DVD by Ken Burns called "The Civil War", Antietam and Harper's Ferry is mentioned several times along with some fierce fighting around your parts in this documentary. I think you are only scratching the outskirts of the areas and you have a lot of potential if you can get on the sites. HH, Mike

How old is that house in the background?

You know, it looks in remarkably good shape. You should be able to seal it as is...It definitely doesn't need electrolysis! Good Job again, that is a true Civil War Relic to be proud of my friend!! I would've like to had been there to watch you dig that one HAHA I BET YOU WERE actin as if it was a plate.....There are SLIM PICKINS in many of our Civil War relic sites these days which makes this all the more enjoyable!

Guess what Josh...it's coming your way.Pm you later.HAHA

HAHA You know you are more than welcome to send it my way anytime

Nice finds, Joe.
I would have thought it was a piece of junk, and dismissed it
altogether. Shows what I know.
Actually, I know enough to have asked you what it was. LOL
