This is a Super Rare little bullet.  It is the most tiny little excavated drop Demmick Sharpshooter {or Swiss Chauser} bullet that I believe that I've ever had.  It is displayed in the picture with a .22 cartridge for size reference.  It was recovered from the camp of the 63 Ill. near Corinth, Miss.--$79.

4. Very rare to recover 1858 drop "round nose" Sharps carbine projectile.  This was dug from a Confederate cavalry camp along Stones River here at Murfreesboro, TN.  I've only dug 3 or 4 of these in 40 years digging - definitely one you don't dig every day.--$65.

17. Mint condition complete non-excavated Maynard 36 cal. Sporting Rifle brass cartridge.  These are almost always recovered from Confederate Cavalry sites.--$95.
18. Two fuzed excavated 69 cal. Confederate buck and ball projectiles.  What caused this to happen was the paper wrapped cartridges were in the edge of the camp fire and got hot enough to start melting and fuze - but not hot enough to totally melt down.  It takes just the right circumstances for this to happen and it's rare to dig a fuzed example.--$45. for both
19. Group of 8 carved and chewed bullets recovered from both Union and Confederate camps here at Stones River.  The group includes 3 chewed {hospital or "medicine"} bullets, 2 nipple protectors made from bullets, Three carved bullets including one carved into a little "Pecker".  Nice little group.--$125. for all.

25. 69 cal. Confederate 3-buck "Buck & Ball" projectile.  I dug this "Buck & Ball" along the Confederate retreat route out of Middle Tennessee enroute to Chickamauga.  The bucks were originally loose packed with the ball using paper wrap.  They were loose in the hole when dug, and I have glued them in their correct position for display.--$15.
