Excavated, "J. P. Shenkl - 1861", cast brass percussion fuse.  This fuse was recovered near the stone wall at the Battle of Nashville, December 1864, 2nd day fighting.  The threads are still good on the fuse and would very likely screw right back into a shell.--$75.

Very nice condition excavated 12 lb. Bormann cannon ball recovered years ago from the battlefield here at Stones River.  It was recovered from what was known for years as the Homer Gannon farm.  I, personally, recovered many shells from this farm, and found 8 in one hole one time.  I'm sure that it was battlefield clean-up as there were 4 different kinds of shells in the one hole, and all were fired.  I disarmed about 30 shells for this family that they had picked up farming over the years.  Happily, members of the Gannon family still come by to visit me (Faye and Ray) from time to time now.  A mega-church sits on the site now.--$250.SOLD
