Went to Bust Island and it wasn’t given it up today. Large coil small coil didn’t matter. I did manage a .58 musket ball, 3 wheats a stainless steel spoon from Korea, flat button and a something. The lady had horses way back when. Hope it’s old. That that that that’s all folks!!! IMG_0012.JPGIMG_0012.JPGIMG_0012.JPGIMG_0012.JPGIMG_0012.JPG

expect nothing and you can be pleased with anything good that does come your way .,.,.
 

58 round ball likely CW era ...most modern 58 cal blackpowder shooters use conical nosed type minie type bullets for hunting / target shooting -- because their much better than round ball

Are you talking about these? I’ve found these two there too. And this one. IMG_0012.JPGIMG_0012.JPG
 

yes there was 58 cal minie type ( pointed end) CW bullets ...the 2 smaller ones look like CW ERA army colt 44 cal pistol bullets ..the larger one looks to be a rifle bullet
