Quite
rare to recover, .57 cal., Enfield
projectile with "55" base marking.
This projectile has a ram rod mark on the
top but must have landed in soft dirt as it
is not misshaped at all. For many
years, we thought the "57" in the base if
Enfield meant .57 cal., but we later learned
it meant Model of 1857, and the ones with
"55" in the base mean Model of 1855. I
have recovered around 20,000 bullets and
have only recovered three of
these.--$65.SOLD*
-
Excavated,
drop, .577 cal., Enfield projectile with the
rare "L2" base marking. This
projectile was recovered along the
Confederate line here at Stones River, and
the boxwood plug remains with the bullet.
There were not a whole lot of Enfields found
here with the "L2" base marking.--$25.SOLD*
-
Excavated,
.577 cal., drop, Enfield projectile with the
rare "P" base marking. This was
recovered from the Confederate battle line
among the limestone out-croppings here at
Stones River on what was private property at
the time.--$25.SOLD*
-
Group
of three dropped, .36 cal., Leech & Rigdon
pistol balls. These were recovered
from a Confederate camp near Dunlap,
Tennessee. We know them to be Leech &
Rigdon, because they match previous Leech &
Rigdon projectiles in a cased Leech & Rigdon
revolver set.--$45. for all three.
-
Quite
rare, excavated, drop, .58 cal., Gardiner
"Explosive". This projectile was
recovered on private property on the
approach route to Gettysburg. It is
quite a rarity when one of these is
recovered now.--$95.SOLD*
-
Excavated
fuzed Confederate .69 cal. "Buck and Ball"
that I recovered a few days ago from the
Confederate camp at our cabin on the
Cumberland Plateau. The projectile was
in a firepit, and had begun to melt, and had
fuzed together. (We're including a
second one that was recovered in four parts
as they generally are.) This positively proves
that the Army of Tennessee still had a good
number of .69 cal. smooth bore muskets in
use in August of 1863 !!! Just a neat
little relic !!--$20.SOLD*
-
Excavated,
brass case, .50 cal., Gallagher carbine
cartridge. The cartridge remains very
stable but does have a couple of old cracks.
It will still display nicely.--$48.
-
Original,
.58 cal., Minie ball cartridge in its
original paper wrapper along with an x-ray
of the cartridge.--$95.
-
Non-excavated,
.69 cal., "bullet worm". These are
sometimes called "extractors" and were used
for removing a projectile after a misfire.
They were screwed onto the back end of the
ram rod which was threaded. This
extractor is in like new, as issued
condition.--$48.
-
Quite
rare excavated .44 cal. Tranter projectile.
This was recovered years ago from a Hardee's
Corp 1863 C.S.A. camp located near
Tullahoma, TN.--$48.

condition, .58 cal., long pattern bullet
extractor, or "bullet worm". This
would be an excellent accessory to display
with your .58 cal. Civil War musket.--$48.
-
Excellent
condition, .69 cal., original musket ball
cartridge. We recover about 90% of
smooth bore musket ball ammunition from
Confederate sites. By the time of the
Civil War, most Union troops were armed with
rifled muskets, but in many cases,
Confederates were forced to still use old
smooth-bore flintlock conversions.
This would be an excellent compliment to
display with your .69 cal. Confederate used
flintlock conversion musket.--$150.
-
Original
complete .58 cal. musket ball in original
paper wrap. We pretty much only
recover these from Confederate sites.
The projectile fit Model 1842 smoothbore .58
cal. cadet muskets, .58 cal. smoothbore
fouling rifles, and could be fired from a
.58 cal. rifled musket. I have found a
"good many" of these in the 1862 and 1863
Confederate winter camps here, and have
found only a couple from the Federal camps
here. A cool cartridge for your
Confederate display.--$150.
-
Very
attractive display containing six different
kinds of projectiles including a complete
Spencer cartridge, a Confederate .58 cal.
Gardner projectile, a .69 cal. dropped Minie
ball, a cleaner projectile, a .58 cal. Minie

Confederate buck and ball.--$65. for the
entire case.

original brown paper wrap. This
cartridge was in a Confederate cartridge box
and was quite likely a Confederate
manufactured projectile.--$125.SOLD
-
Nicely
cased display containing three different
caliber French pinfire cartridges.
Included in the display is a 7mm, a 9mm, and
a 12mm. This would be a super nice

revolver.--$55.

Troops" Minie balls. These have a very
distinctive mold pattern and are Confederate
produced. One of these is .54 caliber,
and the other is .58 caliber.--$45. for the
pair.
-
Excellent
condition pair of excavated, dropped,
imported French projectiles. One of
the projectiles is a .69 cal., single ring
with triangle base. The second
projectile is a .58 cal., 3-ring Minie ball.
Both projectiles were recovered from Army of
Tennessee Confederate camps along Duck River
near Shelbyville, Tennessee, and are both
very nice dropped examples.--$55. in glass
display case.

condition, excavated, drop, Confederate
cap-nose mold, .58 cal. Minie ball together

Excellent
condition shadow box set of three dropped
Civil War projectiles (1) .58 cal. standard
3-ring Minie ball, (2) .69 cal. 3-ring Minie
ball, (3) .69 cal. musket ball. We
have sets recovered at Stones River,
Franklin, Nashville, Ft. Donelson, Shiloh,
and Chickamauga.--$20. each or four cases
for $60.
-
Unusual
find, .577 cal., Confederate Enfield
projectile recovered on private property
here at Stones River with the wooden plug
still sandwiched intact in the bullet.
With some work, I'm sure the wooden plug
could be removed to see what base mark the
Enfield bullet has. A fun
project.--$20.
-
REALLY
NICE excavated set of three hand-made lead
nipple protectors. These were
recovered on private property along the
Confederate Battle line here at Stones
River.--$48. for the case and set of three
bullets.

nice, excavated set of type 1, type 2, and
type 3 Williams Cleaner bullets. All
are very nice dropped examples and were
recovered from camps around Chattanooga,
Tennessee.--$25.

Ornately
carved, .69 cal., 3-ring Minie nicely
soldier carved into an intricate turtle
head. This guy looks like he is ready
to bite you (guess he could be a
snake???)!--$45.
-
Quite
rare, excavated, small caliber foreign rifle
bullet. These small projectiles have
been recovered in several Confederate camps
in this area, but we really do not know what
gun this bullet goes to. They are

condition, excavated drop, .577 cal.,

base for London. This projectile still
has the boxwood plug in the cavity, but it
can be removed.--$20.
-
Very
"artistic", extracted, .58 cal., 3-ring
Minie ball. This projectile was
recovered from a Confederate camp site here
at Stones River. The bullet was
extracted using a "pointed ball puller"
which left a threaded pattern down into the
bullet. The soldier carefully whittled
the bullet away until it EXACTLY shows a
cross-section of the bullet cavity and the
threaded worm hole. I have never seen
this done by a soldier before.--$28.

by.--$450.SOLD

just purchased an additional several
thousand bullets to go with the original
10,000+ mixed excavated Civil War bullets
that we already had. Bag of 50 mixed
dropped and fired
U.S.
and C.S. bullets (Approximately 2/3 dropped
and 1/3 fired) - each bag includes a variety
of different type bullets at a low cost of
$1.78 per bullet. I can guarantee that it
is progressively becoming much more
difficult both to secure permission and to
recover Civil War projectiles. They are for
sure not going to remain at the dirt-cheap
price of $1.78 per bullet very much
longer.--$89. per bag of fifty.
-
Very
nice condition, excavated, complete .54
cal., Burnside carbine cartridge. This
cartridge was recovered from Lytle Creek

During
the mid-1970's, Claiborne Lytle, and I were able to
find the position of the Confederate Sharp
Shooters on the Brentwood Hills during the
2nd day's fighting at the Battle of
Nashville, Tennessee. The Confederate

French musket projectiles. One of
these projectiles is the standard base

River near Shelbyville, TN. One of the
bullets is a "dropped" Enfield with the rare
"L-2" marking in the base (London -2nd
Type), and the other projectile has a teat
protruding out from the base of the cavity,
and is often called by collectors a "Georgia
Troop" - because more of these are recovered
from the camps of Georgia Troops than
anywhere else.--$48. for the pair of rare
bullets and display case.

A
recent recovery from private property here
at Stones River just down the road from the

cased display containing five chewed musket
balls. These balls were all recovered

performed. This is the origin of the
term, "bite the bullet".--$45 for the entire
