CW collectors, collect a host of different items from hats & uniforms, guns, buttons, artillery shells etc but by far I believe the biggest sector of collecting is the bullet. With over 400 different types of ammo used during the CW is offers a lot to folks who collect them. Recently one of our newer and younger members @Ethan S. started his collection of getting bullets from the different battlefields which getting all of them is going to take some doing but he is young. He put out a call to us here at CWT and I'm proud that some of our members stepped up and what we sent him got a good bit of his list. Young folks like him are the future of our hobby and passion.
An amateur CW archeologist finds more bullets that anything else because there were more bullets produced then any other item. You always see the jar full of CW bullets in the gift shop or antique shop in every battlefield town and they range from $2 to $5 but collecting CW bullets can be expensive if you don't dig them yourself. Recently a CW MINT Confederate Morse carbine rd sold for almost $2000 at auction and who said prices were down for CS items.
