Excavated,
30 pound Parrott projectile that was
recovered over 30 years ago from near
Charleston, South Carolina. This shell
has been disarmed, cleaned, and coated and
is ready for display. The base of the
shell remains intact, but it did kick the
sabot.--$295.
Very
nice condition, excavated, dropped,
Confederate used, imported, long pattern, 3-inch Armstrong
projectile. What make these shells
different and stand out are the large copper
studs that are imbedded in the shell that
engage the rifling upon firing. This
projectile was recovered many years ago near
Wilmington, North Carolina, and to this day,
remains rusty and dirty just as found.
These are only found in a relatively small
area and are quite rare to recover.--$695.

Very
nice condition, Confederate 12 pound size,
wood drive-in fuse type cannonball that was
recovered over 30 years ago from the King
farm located just in rear of where
Mendenhall had all the Union cannons masked
for the Confederate charge by Breckenridge
on January 2, 1863, here at Stones River.
In this charge, the Confederates ran into 58
cannons that were hidden just out of view,
and in this charge over 1800 Confederates
were killed in just one hour. This is
known to history as Breckenridge's Charge at
Stones River, and according to folklore,
caused Stones River to run red for an hour.
The cannonball is disarmed, cleaned, coated,
and ready for display.--$295.
Nice
condition original Civil War artillery
"Lanyard". It has signs of being
somewhat cruder than most that I'm used to
seeing, and think that it very well could be
Confederate. It shows clear signs of
actual field use.--$375.
Artillery
"gimlet" out of a local estate and is very
crude with a wooden handle. It shows
handling and use and could very well be
Confederate.--$95.

seconds you could almost send a Civil War

six pound size, top canister plate that was
fired here at Stones River and is divoted
where the balls made an impression on it.

eleven six-pounder size canister balls found
near the plate. This makes a beautiful
display forming a pyramid held by the base
plate. This was recovered about 40
years ago near Highway 96 where the Battle
of Stones River first started. This
would be 100% Confederate and makes a killer
display.--$195.SOLD

Original
non-excavated Civil War Artillery Flame
Concentrator. These were used to

fired toward the paper time fuzes that were
filled with fulminate. These were
intended to reduce the number of time fuze
shells that the paper time fuze didn't light
and were duds.--$48.
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

the Second Day fightlng - Battle of
