Vicksburg Plantation Hunt

[Tom Hughes]

Group of relics I found yesterday at a Vicksburg plantation site. The 3 ring bullet near my little finger is a .54 calibre Merrill carbine bullet. The coin is a 2 cent piece. Thanks for looking.

I've been thinking about these pictures all day. I work at an old airfield and from time to time we find horseshoes, casings and random bits. Well, for a long time I had what looked just like one of these on my desk, but I didn't know what it was and got tired of the clutter and threw it away. Now I'm almost positive it was an old bullet, only mine was solid and had a flat bottom. It was also in near mint condition, a dull brown/gray color if I remember correctly.
I'm glad sites like this exist to spread knowledge that a random idiot like me is just ignorant of. It could actually save an artifact's life.

You ought to go back to the area and search. Good luck and thanks for looking at my finds
