Maryland...'bout 55 miles south of Gettysburg.
These are fired three ring bullets dug from the Daniel S. Farm near Gettysburg.
My people lived in Gettysburg before the war, and it has always had a real attraction for me.

I still have some nice smaller Civil War relics, like these, and a couple Southern hard images, and
a few Union soldier's images, which are much less expensive! I used to have many more years ago.
What happened? I will tell you.

Not many months after the 21st century began, I collapsed at home right after getting back from work.
I had suffered a sudden AVM, something like an aneurysm, and I was close
to death. I was in something like a coma for some weeks, and wife got me help at a hospital, but for awhile
I was beyond caring. Wife was told that I would soon die, or be brain dead. When I got home I still
believed that I would soon die, and so I began to sell off my best Civil War images, and relics. That Fall
I got to talk to my specialist who told me that I did better than expected, and I might live for years to come.
I continued to get even better, and so I began to collect relics, and images again. This time I have more
knowledge than I did when I was young, and generally I have made better purchases.

Thanks to God for my recovery, and that I am still collecting Civil War items which are so very interesting!

Oh, I want to show these. Excavated near the Daniel S. farm near Gettysburg.

Thank you for sharing, some very cool relics!
 
Well, obvioulsy it was not your time to be called home. I hope you dont mourn your sold off treasures. Someone has been inspired and pulled into history because of your sales.

Glad you are here, and able to share such neat thing!
