A Few Bullets From Several Hunts Last Week

[tabman]

I'm not really all that knowledgeable when it comes to CW relics. I know a bullet when I see it, but I don't know any thing about the different types. If it beeps, I dig it.

you def have some 69 and 58 cal there. I also see some camp lead and a tent gromet. I'd say you were in a camp and I would hit that place hard

You got some nice lead there... I would keep hitting that site!!!
May be a nice old coin in there too!!

Can someone ID these bullets? They were all found within 10 feet of one another.

This button was within a few feet of them as well:

The bullet in the middle looks to be a .52 caliber sharps round.
The one on the right looks to be a .58 caliber minnie ball.
I'm not sure of the one on the left.. hopefully someone else will ID that one and correct
me if I'm wrong on the ID of the other two.
All three are nice finds.. keep hitting that area!!

The bullet on the left is a smiths carbine cch

Good job on the button and bullets sure do wish I could find me some, well heck at least one of either!

Thanks for info. I'm not a relic hunter and I know very little about Civil War artifacts. I just happen to stumble upon a Civil War camp that I don't think has been detected.

Other than just a couple of buttons, everything else has been lead. About 2 dozen bullets in one small area.

Hey tabman, nice finds. This one looks like a US General Service button.

This one looks to be a CS Staff Officers button, but the wreath or braided rope around the edge has me puzzled.

Try this link. Drooped wing button = CS. See if you can match it up.
