| 69 Caliber Conical Minie Ball in Wood |
|
|
NEW !
Somebody PLEASE buy this, before I Have to Just Buy it For Myself ! Like Lawrence Christopher, from Dalton, Georgia, used to say when he listed a really pretty belt plate, “ If you don’t like this, I’ll be perfectly happy keeping it for myself.” LOL…..God Bless his soul, a good man for sure. This conical .69 caliber bullet looks so cool, and being a .69, you know it is from an early war site. Rarely see .69s in wood anymore, and this one is so correct. It measures about 1.675 inches wide by about 1 inch tall. On the backside you can clearly see the impacted bullet thru the wood. Part of a bunch I was recently asked to sell, but unfortunately recovery location has been lost. Still, a Super Cool .69 Caliber 3-Ringer in Wood. See if you can find another. [K. I.]

| Very Cool 3-Ring Bullet Impacted in Wood |
|
|
NEW !
Here is a Very Cool 3-Ring Bullet Impacted in Wood ! The piece of wood is right at 5 inches long, and judging by the diameter of the cavity that is visible, I think it is probably a standard .58 caliber 3-ringer, that really came in hard, making a mushroom out of it. This is one of several I recently got to sell, and all are cool, but unfortunately their recovery locations have been lost. If you like bullets in wood though, This High Impact .58 Caliber Displays Beautifully ! [K. I. ]

NEW !
Here is Another Cool Bullet in Wood ! This one measures about 3 inches wide by 1.375 inches wide. Another 3-ringer, but looking at what I can see of the cavity, it might be just a .54 caliber. However, it really looks nice. Definitely a pretty hard impact as the nose is mashed almost flat. Another of several I recently was asked to sell. Fine Bullet in Wood that Will Display Great ! [ K. I. ]

|
| Here is Another Fine Condition Dropped Confederate Sharpshooter’s Whitworth Bullet ! I can confidently say, it is a “Confederate Sharpshooter’s” Whitworth, because of where it was excavated. This one is a nice drop with a mottled brown patina and no damage. It mics out at about .447 diameter by 1.405 inches tall. It was also recovered in the 1970s by either Larry Hicklen, or his digging buddy at the time, Claiborne Lytle, who each recovered dozens of them, on the Brentwood Hills, where the Confederate Sharpshooters were posted during the 2nd days fighting, at the Battle of Nashville. Another Fine & Quite Uncommon dropped Confederate Sharpshooter’s Whitworth Bullet !

| Very Nice Dropped .54 Caliber "Nathan Bedford Forrest" Enfield Bullet |

(Thought I either lost or previously Sold this bullet, and when someone called to order it, I could not find it. However, one day NOT in the relic room, I found it.)
Here is a Nice Dropped .54 Caliber Confederate Enfield Bullet, also known to Collectors as a Nathan Bedford Forrest Enfield! These smaller .54 caliber Enfield/Pritchett type Bullets are often excavated in sites associated with General Forrest, thus the name. This one measures about .974 of an inch tall, by .520 diameter. It has a wonderful slick brownish patina often seen on bullets recovered in the woods, and no digger damage. It has a few tiny patina chips on the base and a casting imperfection in the cavity.

| Here is a Nice Dropped .577 Enfield Bullet, with the “57” Cavity Mark !

| RARE Dropped Confederate "Arkansas Hog" Bullet - .69 Caliber Trans-Mississippi Projectile - Recovered at Mark's Mills, Arkansas |
|
| Here is an Excellent Dropped Example of the RARE “Arkansas Hog” Bullet ! It’s actually a .69 caliber French Mangeot bullet, and is #608 in the Mason & McKee book, Civil War Projectiles II. I suspect they got the name “Arkansas Hog” due to the fact that they are primarily recovered in Arkansas, and a few in Missouri. This one has a nice mostly white patina with several areas of encrusted dirt still on it. There are a couple of period scratches too but they show the same patina as the rest of the bullet, and there are no digger dinks or scratches. This bullet measures at approximately .680-.685 diameter by 1.184 in length. In his article for North/South Trader’s Civil War magazine, titled, War in the West Yields Rare Bullets, Part II, Meigs Brainard illustrated three variants of the Arkansas Hog Bullet, and I believe this particular example is a Type I, based on the deep truncated cavity and the nose profile. A Nice Example of a RARE Trans-Mississippi Confederate Bullet! It was recovered at Mark’s Mills, Arkansas.
