Default 30 Years War Relics 1618 - 1648

Here are couple pics of the finds from a day hunting on the 30 years war battlefield of Noerdlingen in southern Bavaria. In this battle two Swedish armies were defeated by the Imperialist troops on 5-6 Sept. 1634.

A nice 6 pounder solid shot still in the hole and the other all of the finds from the day.

Default 30 Years War Relics

Brad,

What would be the standard issue Bavarian/Swedish military weapons in 1634?

Also, you seem to have at least two different diamter roundballs there. Are the larger size bullets or case?

Great finds,
TomH
