Post your Western Theater oddities

[Ethan S.]

The Western Theater has long been a beacon in the Civil War relic hunters world, because you can find things there that you wouldn't necessarily find anywhere else. You know, Arkansas Hawgs, Egg buckles, etc.

So post your Western Theater finds that you wouldn't really be able to find East of the Kanawha River. I'd be interested to see what we have here.

I do hope we have relic hunters who will be able to help us out.

Here are two examples of the long nose and short nose Belgianette bullets I dug at a Vicksburg campaign site. These bullets are exclusive to the western theatre. More often found in Arkansas and Missouri. This one site in Vicksburg is the only place I've ever found the Belgianette's.

Here's a close up of the long nose Belgianette variety.

I forgot to mention these Belgianettes are .54 calibres
