Gardner "Blow Out": This is the most severe "blow through" I've ever seen. Gardners were noted for having flaws resulting in their being "blown through" by the powder charge. On one side you can clearly see the two rings, while the other side is almost completely blown away. A unique relic and the most severe you'll ever see. Some patina loss on edges, still a nice piece.

Unmarked Plug Base Unlisted .57 Enfield: Measures .570 x 1.086 with .466 cavity depth . From CS lines, Kolb Farm, GA, dug by me years ago. Most Enfield Plug Bases dug here in Georgia are somehow marked, making this one odd.

.58 Bullet Fired in .54 Musket: An example of a soldier shooting whatever he could find, in this case forcing a larger .58 bullet into a .54 musket bore. The result? A "Stretched" bullet. Don't you wish this one could talk! From Wilderness-South Mountain area.

"Short Pour" Bullet: Three ring bullet in which not enough lead was put into mold, resulting in these "short pours" They were usually re-melted and reused, so they are fairly scarce to find. This one is from Wilderness-South Mountain area.

"Short Pour" Bullet: Bullet in which not enough lead was put into mold, resulting in these "short pours" They were usually re-melted and reused, so they are fairly scarce to find. This one is extra odd, as it looks like maybe the soldier fired it anyway. This one is from Wilderness-South Mountain area.
