Went out today for a couple of hours and found this bullet and little round ball. I'm not sure what kind they are so I asked a couple of members here. Stoney sent me a great link with some pictures of bullets. It looks like the .52 Sharps Carbine....but my pic dosen't show the second ring very well....

sorry to be a spoiled sport, but the one on the left of the quarter is post Civil War. Nice round ball however.
 

Not a spoil sport at all! I have no idea about the bullets I find...but this one is different.....I don't live very far from the cw sites but far enough away not to have access. :'(

So.....how post is it? LOL!

Thanks!!!

Nana ;)
 

That one has a crimp in the ring around the bottom. That usually means after 1900. Still a find is a find. With all the bullets you dig, anything silver won't stand a chance agaiinst your sensative ears. It will just sing to you when you hit it.

I enjoy finding bullets and musket balls, better than a pulltab anyday, LOL! HH, Mike
 

BULLETS are BULLETS.

I enjoy finding them, & seeing them.

I THINK The Ball may be old.

Perhaps even PRE Civil war.

IF only there was a way to tell.

Hey Nana great finds. You know lead is going up in value and with all you find, you should be able to get yourself a new detector soon. What are the calibers of the bullet and ball. Might help to identify and give a better determination on the age. And you keep digging that lead and soon one of the hits is going to be gold. Congrats...Lance
