cal. Colt Revolving Rifle, and one is the
extremely rare .50 cal. Colt Revolving

Revolving projectiles in 50 years
hunting.--$48. for the set

pretty condition, excavated, dropped, .577
cal., Enfield projectile. This bullet

very nice addition to someone's bullet
collection.--$20.

made of maple. I am pricing the entire
collection at basically $6 per
bullet.--$250. for the entire collection and
case.SOLD

cartridge box come in that has several
original, .58 cal., 3-ring Minie ball

one of the cartridges that was inside the
cartridge box.--$95.SOLD*

Quite
rare to recover, nice drop, early Model, .54

condition drop .58 cal. Confederate cap-nose

Pair
of excavated, .69 cal., triangle cavity,
French musket projectiles. One of
these projectiles is the standard base
height projectile we typically recover.

Display
containing two quite rare Confederate
bullets. These bullets were recovered

"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
shop. Beautiful, snow-white, dropped,
triangle base, Confederate used, .69 cal.,

the triangle cavity is so distinctive.--$38.

Excellent
condition, excavated, creamy white, dropped,
