Civil war bullets I found

7centsworth

Well-known member
Here are a few bullets I have found in a field I have been hunting. One is a 69 caliper , the one with huge ram rod mark is around 50 caliper and the other three are a little less than 50 caliper. Thanks for looking.
 
7, awesome bullets ! I only wish we had Civil war sites here in Delaware. I guess I might have a chance of finding some, not sure though.
 
Nice!! Are you sure on the no-ringers? Look like .54 Enfields to me.........

Z47 .54 Tall Enfield

Measures: D .525 L 1.219 C .274

Cavity: Pointed Conical

Positive I could not get a better picture they are octagon on bottom. I have a enfiled I found in the same field it is bigger and round at base.
 
KB...I'm thinking that the bullet you are referring to as "huge ram rod mark" might in fact be a bullet fired with the ramrod still in the gun. It was not at all in common, in the heat of battle, for the soldier to leave the ram rod in the rifle while loading. A ram rod shoved into the barrel would not have caused the impression that is in your bullet. I have a similar bullet in my collection. I will try and find it and post a pic for you.

That makes sense. I could not figure why that mark was so deep. Thanks Tom.
 
Cool finds...
