| Very Nice Big .69 Caliber Plug Base Bullet - East Tennessee |
|
| Here is a super nice .69 Caliber Plug Base Bullet ! It's showing
a nice smooth grayish/white patina, with no chips or damage of
any kind. Nice round cavity with flat plug base easily visible.
Can't match it exactly in Mason & McKee, and kind of think
it's unlisted. A very nice example of the big .69, with plug
base that is much less common. Recovered East Tennessee.

| Here's a Nice Dropped .36 Caliber Teardrop Pistol Bullet !
It's got a mostly white patina, with no period dings, nor digger
damage. The base is nice and round, and not mashed as it looks
in my picture. I just let the bottom get too deep down in my
backdrop. Recovered in one of General Frederick Steele's

| Campfire Melted Confederate Mississippi Bullet - Arkansas CS Camp |
|
| Here's a neat item, that used to be a Confederate .54 Caliber
Mississippi bullet ! You can still see the two rings near the base,
and rounded nose, despite it being thrown back in the melting
pot. I've compared it to a nice dropped Mississippi, and there's
no doubt in my mind about it. To the eye it's almost the same size,
if you don't count the big piece of lead slag now attached to this
one. An unusual piece of camp lead, recovered in the same
Confederate Camp as several nice dropped .54 Mississippi's !
Recovered CS Camp, Mt. Elba, Arkansas.

| Excellent & Rare Confederate Cosmopolitan Type II Bullet - Cane Hill, Arkansas |
|
| Here is a real nice example of a Very Rare Bullet ! It's a Confederate
Cosmopolitan Type II, unlisted in Mason & McKee's Civil War
Projectiles, but very similiar to the one ID'd in Stelma's Some Civil
War Bullets, as number 08-056, and actually this one was recovered
in the same area. I believe these are primarily found, only in Arkansas
and northern Louisiana. This one was dug by my friend, Matt Longwith,
near Cane Hill, Arkansas. It's got a nice off white patina, with a minor
period scratch, and a casting flaw along one mold seam. Best feature
on this bullet though, is the nearly circular cavity. These bullets have
such thin cavity walls, that most are excavated with partially crushed
cavities. This one is exceptionally intact, though not a perfect circle
but real close. Mics out to about .514 diameter, by .939 tall.
A Very Rare Trans-Mississippi Confederate bullet, missing
from many collections !
