Old Wagon Trail near Sant Fe NM

[Lamy Lineman]

Got out yesterday. Weather has improved. Usual finds, horseshoes, nails, pieces of chain, bullet shells. Medallion looks like top loop broke off, and a hole was drilled to able to wear. Looks like St Bruno, and Saint something on the other side. Pretty worn. Shells are marked Peters No 12 IDEAL, REM UMC 44 WCF, shell marked C.D.L., I have no idea age or ID. If someone knows, I'd like to know...
Keep on swing and posting, Thanks for looking...

I have found info on the C.D.L. bullet cartridge. It was C.D.Leet, 1862 to 1867, Springfield Mass. The C.D.L. headstamp was only used on the .38 to .58 bullets. Pretty rare and was a rimfire cartridge.
