Dug these today! Fired .69, fired .58's, dropped .58's, buck but no ball and some brass! Travis

Two weeks ago I posted a Union Navy button I dug at the end of May, while pic posting was not available. Here are some more buttons I dug that same week! Just now getting around to taking snaps of them! I have a few flat buttons that I have not included and some coins too! Hopefully get them...

While the pic posting here was on hiatus I was able to get out and do some digging. Got into a spot that turned out about a 150 buttons, not to mention coins ans other CW period items. Unfortunately very little lead and no big brass ( buckles) were found. And...no I did not dig all those...

I just got this from a very, very good friend and thought I would share it with all here! It is a Williams Type III cartridge and, being a cartridge, a first for me! Yes, I feel like a proud Pappa! LOL! I need to be careful though as these things can be addicting! Hope everyone is doing well! I...

Been digging behind a dozer the last three days and it has been a blast of a hunting spot. Several local hunters and I have been blasting this site with continuous "pings" and the finds are good. I have seen 4 Connecticut coat buttons, several New York buttons, Eagle buttons of all kinds, rings...

I picked this big boy up while visiting Bill last week! It is an 8 inch Columbiad. This is my first Arty piece and me thinks that I am hooked on a new collection! LOL! I can't believe how much this weighs. 67 lbs does not seem like much but.....dang! My son weighs more than that and I have no...

I have not been able to dig much of late so I purchased a couple of things I needed for the collection. The first and second pics are of a Shaler and .69 deep cavity Gardner. The second and third pics are of the two Enfields, .515 and .545, that were labeled "Greens" but after reading other...

I have two buttons that I need help with. The first is a Navy, but I am unsure of it's dating! The back mark says "Superior Quality". The second button I have no clue about. The back mark is barely legible but it appears to have "Scovil" on it. Any help would be much appreciated. Both these...

Here all of today's digs together! Travis

here's the bullets I dug today! Travis

Dug this Navy button today! Very happy with this one! Travis

I dug this bullet, if one can call it that at this point, yesterday. I thought it was an interesting find due to the fact it is cleaved in half. I am not sure if this is a result of the bullet hitting something or if it was cut and then melted. The first pic shows the backside or what would have...

Dug these yesterday. Good to get out again! Dug some other stuff too. If anyone wants to see them say so and I'll post. Nothing real exciting! Travis

Hello All You Lead Heads! It has been quite a long time since I have read, or been a part of, a bullet related discussion on this forum! It is CWBULLET after all! I thought I might try my hand at starting a topic to learn a little more or, at the very least, stimulate an interesting...

I dug this fired bullet this past weekend. The teat like top is interesting to me,... and am wondering if the resulting teat like affect on the top of the bullet was a result of firing or the result of an attempted pull before firing? This bullet is definitely fired. The other question is...

Here's a couple shots of yesterdays lead and a nice brass find. My first Eagle D (Dragoon). Happy New Year Everyone!!!!!!! Travis

Got out to dig all day yesterday. This old camp is still producing for me and the new setting I am using on my Fisher 1270 is really helping pick the stuff up! The two buttons are nice as the Eagle I is one of the best I have ever found. I also like the piece of period glass with the lead melted...

Got out to hunt a bit this weekend and thought I'd post the lead that is worth posting. Besides these bullets I also found about a pound (and I mean this literally) of melted lead pieces/ bits and some buck. Here's the finds worth posting. Happy Christmas and Merry New Year to all! Travis

Have not seen many fresh dug relics posted lately so figured I would post last Fridays finds from here in New Bern. Nothing spectacular but was fun to get out and pull some stuff from the ground. I hope all is well with everyone here at CWBullet. Best wishes for the up coming holidays!!!! Travis

Some finds from today, Sunday Oct. 30. Two 54. cal Three rings, haversack rivets, haversack buckle, badly corroded Eagle Coat button, Scoville button back, lots of melted lead, and what I think is a Railroad box car seal. It is lead with an iron wire in it and marked "L 69-T". I don't know what...
