Today's Finds from the Field
Hi all. Went back to walk the corn field again this morning with my boxers. Found some old and modern lead and a small flat button. Here's for you Internet guys that like your dirty pics:
Here are some semi clean ones:
For you lead heads, the round ball is approximately .547 in and weighs 245 grains. The little cartridge bullet is about .315 " round, .522 " long and weighs 83 grains. They both have been fired so diameters are not accurate, just close.
The button is about 17.37 mm and has " Imperial Standard " as a Backmark. From what I have read on this forum, it is generic. I have not seen the letters so close to the edge before, so perhaps it isn't as old as the ones lettered around the shank? Any button guru's know?
I liked the cartridge bullet because it is a " mini-me " of my avatar, lol. Thanks for looking and safe hunts!
