Louisiana civil war finds

[Tigerdude]

Went out this morning. Cold and wet. An odd array. Melted 3 ringer, a perfect dropped .69 round ball, fired pistol bullet and a first for me-3-1/2 scales from an epaulette. Man, I was like a hog root in' in the mud looking for the scales!

The epaulet is a killer find! Wow. It's a nice haul. Can you imagine the blood loss from a .69 cal hole in you? Make a hole in you like a garden hose.

Big brass like that in there, you might come across a plate. Maybe the one with the pelican

The pelican is my Holy Grail.
