Brandy Station, VA.  These particular finds, on October 29, 1977, are documented in a chapter from Howard Crouch's book "Relic Hunter" and the story of these finds can be read by clicking here.   M&M 342 and T&T 152.  $55.00   Ordering Information  or  Questions

PC1862
                  16 Various Pulled Bullets

Offered in this group are 16 various bullets and round balls all of which have been "pulled".   A pulled bullet was one that needed to be extracted from the barrel of the gun after misfiring.  The beauty of these bullets is that they have not only been handled once, but twice, by the soldier.  For rifles,  a screw or corkscrew device would be attached to the end of the ramrod.  The rod would then be inserted into the gun up to the tip of the bullet and then turned so as to attach or grab the bullet.  Once securely attached, the rod would then be withdrawn to extract the bullet.  Included in this group are the following:  a .69 cal. three ringer, a swage base, an enfield, several .58 cal. bullets, a picket, 2 round balls, a Shaler top section, a type I and III Williams cleaner, a Colt .44 caliber, .44 cal Colt dragoon,  and a Washington arsenal bullet with the star in the base.  When the ramrod was screwed into the Enfield bullet, it was screwed in so far that it created a bulge inside the skirt of the bullet.  I have attempted to show this in the additional pictures.  I have also pictured the interior of the Washington Arsenal bullet showing the star.   These examples all have nice white patinas and will make an excellent display group for any collection.  $75.00  Ordering Information  or  Questions

                Five Spencer Cartridges

These five Spencer carbine cartridges are still remarkably solid condition considering how long they were buried.  None of them are perfect, but none of them are "put togethers" either.  All five were recovered by the late James Renfrow Sr. at Harrison's Landing in Charles City County, VA.  James was a hunting buddy of the renowned relic hunter Gene Cooley.  $65.00   Ordering Information  or  Questions

               10 Carved Bullets

These 10 carved or whittled bullets are from the collection of Richard E. Clem  of Maryland.  Carved or whittled bullets are the result of Civil War soldiers with a lot of idle time.  What makes them so special is the fact that these particular bullets spent time in the hands of the soldier. One can only imagine a group sitting around the campfire swapping stories about back home or admitting to missing a girl all the while whittling away a piece of artwork only to be recovered 100 years later by a relic hunter wandering through the same campsite.  A relic hunter since the early sixties, Mr. Clem dug these items in various battlefields and campsites in the area of Berryville, VA as well as Charles Town, WV.  For more information about relic hunter Richard Clem click the link on his name above. These bullets will make an excellent addition to any collection.   $65.00   Order Information  or  Questions?

             Confederate Gardner "Blow Thru" Bullet

This excavated Confederate Gardner "blow thru" bullet is another very cool relic and was excavated in Spotsylvania County, VA near Spotsylvania Courthouse.  Due to the thin walls of the bullet nose, caused by improper casting, the force of the firing would cause the bullet to be "blown-through".  This is an item you don't see everyday and is a must for any Civil war bullet collection.  $55.00   Ordering Information  or  Questions?
