Back last fall I started researching and hunting for the campsite of the 14th Kansas Cavalry that existed on July 27th 1864.
On Feb 9th I found a yet undiscovered campsite and have been back to it at least once a week( sometimes 2 or 3 times a week) since.
Yesterday I got up at 0400 to hunt some property close to downtown and as the sun is coming up and people arriving for work I decided to move
to a quieter location. 15 mins later I find myself at the campsite again.
I hunted for about an hour and half and came up with 5 more bullets and a horse shoe nail.
This 3ringer mics out at .52 cal . Anybody know what rifle used this cal bullet
?
Next hole produced my first Enfield bullet.
The other 3 were .30 something round balls.
I've been looking for a Federal campsite ; But I believe I've found a Confederate campsite that Predates 01/1864
Confederates here were poorly armed compared to the Federals.
Here is a pic of total finds since Feb 9th of this year
Anyway thanks for looking and as always HH and GL
PS modern .22's are included in pic and the jewelry are period pieces I believe although I haven't confirmed it professionally yet
