1. Very nice condition Confederate 12 lb. "wood drive-in fuze" cannon ball.  This ball was recovered from Gen. Hood's position as he fell back following the Battles of Franklin and Nashville.  The ball has been cleaned, coated, and still has the petrified wooden fuze intact.  Most of the shrapnel in the area was 5-side polygonal and that is likely what this one is as well.  It's a fine example and ready to set in your display.--$295.
2. "Ground burst" 3-inch Federal Hotchkiss projectile that makes a fantastic educational exhibit as to exactly how the Hotchkiss projectile worked.  You can look inside and see how all the parts worked together to create an explosion.  It has been cleaned, coated, and has been pictured for an upcoming reference book.--only $175.SOLD
3. Very nice condition brass percussion fuzed 3 inch Schenkl projectile.  This shell is slick as can be and has already been cleaned, coated, disarmed and ready for display.  And a nice free display stand comes with this projectile.--$475.SOLD
4. Excellent condition excavated large size cast brass Model 1833 Dragoon stirrup.  Recovered at Chickamauga and has a beautiful smooth green patina.  You can clearly see on the inside wear from the boot.--$225.
5. Mint condition 10-inch mortar cartridge bag.  You won't see a nicer example.--$95.
6. Complete fired 3 inch Hotchkiss projectile recovered at the Battle of Nashville, TN. The projectile has nose, cup, and complete "rifled" lead sabot.  It is cleaned, coated, disarmed, and ready for display.--$295.

8. Excavated nose section of the big 3.67 Hotchkiss projectile.  This one was recovered at Kennesaw, GA. and has been disarmed and just lightly cleaned.  It has great metal and would further clean up nicely.  The brass time fuze remains intact.--$195.
9. Very rare to excavate "interwined" U.S.A. artillery rosette.  This was recovered many years ago by my old hunting buddy - Pete Cryer - from here at Stones River.  I have actually seen more Confederate belt plates recovered here than these.--$125.
10. Finely crafted and faithfully reproduced 3/4 scale Model 1860 Parrott Rifle.  The barrel is cast iron with a 3/8 inch seamless liner for maximum strength.  The wheels are hickory and all carriage parts are white oak just as the originals.  All hardware is steel not low strength aluminum or pot metal.  The cannon comes complete with all working implements including water bucket, worm, 2 rammers, 2 hand spikes, a portfire, prolong rope, and vent cover.  The wheel height is 42 inches and the barrel bore is 2.25 inches.  We will include free delivery within 300 miles of Murfreesboro, TN.  If you check around you will find this gun usually priced at $12,000.  Check out our price with a full complement of implements and free delivery !!!--$9,500.
11. Group of beautiful condition excavated unfired Confederate manufacture cannon friction primers.  These were excavated yesterday by one of my hunting buddies all out of one hole on the 2nd day Battle Line at the Battle of Nashville, TN. - As long as they last - I have eight.--$45. each
12. Complete layer of 12# canister balls.  These were locally dug and from the position where they were found are probably C.S.--$95. for the entire layer.

13. Excellent condition original Billinghurst and Requa Battery Gun Clip.  Only a few hundred of these were ever produced.  This one still hinges perfectly.--$275.
