MD: General Discussions - The Civil War Bullet

I know Ive seen this somewhere, I can't think of what it is at the moment. I was thinking it goes on a hat ? Those are Sharps behind it. Some kind of iron ball about .44 to the right, ( Probably a bearing.)

Not great shape, but it is still a cool find none the less.

So Tn Mxt and myself are walking the woods searching. Nothing fancy turns up but the usual plain clothes button, a couple small round balls and a gilted hinge thingy about 3/4 inch long. Looks like it is attached to leather because of the two rivets on either ends. Anyway, I get this iron...

Found this small cuff Block I the other day. Intresting enough it was smack dab in the middle of a huge Union camp? Also found some other Union buttons and some .57 Enfields

Hey, lost my button book. My brother may have stole it. Anyway, where was this thing made at? The button is about the size of a quarter. Sorry for the second pic, camera having hard focus time. ThanX,

Heres my delema. I hunted a patch of land, and found only a few iron case shot. I was wanting to make some kind of desk display using the 1/2 inch shot. ...and now my wisdom....... I thought about buying one of those firecraker shooting small replica cannons. Seems like they come in several...

I have a lead on a White's Spectrum XLT for $450. Its used but is clean etc. No other acc come with it. Worth $450? Im a Fisher user so I don't have a clue on the Whites. Also, is the Whites Vibra Probe worth having. Or is there another pinpoint probe thats better cheaper etc? ThanX,

This is getting very annoying lately. Before it was confined to one forum but its all over the place now. Ive also noticed CW Bullet will barely load onto my screen now. The only website doing this to me. Are you all getting pages hung and generally slow loads too? Im suprised my Email has...
