Makes you wonder if the target is still near by.

where did you find them? State?

Edited to add they appear to be that of a homecast reloader

Very nice... must have been a lot of action at that site. Any chance a research of the area history might turn up some information?? Cheers, RickO

Hey Brian I've found some bullets over here in my area like that before.
Not sure of age or when they were used.

Cool finds though.

well those are certainly different. Wish I could help on IDing them...certainly look old though

I'm in california. I've dug CW war bullets before. Probably have a few pounds of those. These look a lot different.
Id'd the button age at 1860's to 1870 according to my Tice button bible.

Having some knee problems. I'm taking some time off from digging. Was digging out some stumps in my yard and hurt my back a little. Its tough cause there are severals demos going on and I can't try them out.

They are 45-70's. Circa 1880.
