CW bullet - 71 cal

[steve in so la]

Here's my Louisiana CW display so far. I go to the area to visit the family each year and sometimes get in some detecting. Most of these finds came from the Red River campaign. And the large disks are souvineres from the annual Shrimp & Petroleum Festival.

The middle bullet is a 71 cal, the biggest one used there. A 69 cal is next to it.

Here's a complete collection of the Josephine plantation, given to me, not dug. A distant relative lived there after the war and had them which he gave to me. steve in so az

Neat post, Steve. I have never seen tags like that before.

I would like to see the gun that shoots such a large caliber.
I would NOT like to pull the trigger as it would no doubt knock my arm off my shoulder. LOL
I guess the amount of powder backing the wad would be large to propel that much mass.
NICE FIND!
