Whittled Bullets
This "Whittled" bullet collection was purchased from the
digger and comes from Civil War Campsites in and around Richmond,
Virginia. All were dug on private property with the owner's
permission. Barely cleaned they are in some cases complete with dirt and represent just what is found in relic
hunting. When you consider just how many bullets have to be dug to find
just 1 altered bullet such as shown here, the rarity to me seems clear.
Enjoy these "product's of idle time". Two views of the relic
are shows for clarity in most cases.

Miscellaneous Bullets
These bullets were dug as noted and all on
private property with the owner's permission. These
are considered "bulk" and may be complete with a diggers mark or other
slight imperfections - selection is as "poured out of a bucket".
For the single selections I'll do my best to pick out the best available from
our collection on a "first come first served basis".

Individual Bullets
Various Individual Bullets from
Jack's personal collection are now
being made available. Provenance is listed
where known and all were dug on
private property with the owner's
permission. I have identified
as best that I can, by McKee & Mason numbers where applicable.
If a bullet has a less than
desirable feature I make sure it is
visible in the photo(s).
