Thanks Joe (PointHound)

[Ron Kelley]

This was a great surprise: Joe (PointHound) gave me some great Civil War artifacts and two ancient Quartz points.

The Civil War artifacts are from the Spotsylvania Battle (May 8-21, 1864). This was an important battle and I found the history very interesting.

The three musket balls are all 58 Caliber: Three Ring Minnie Ball, Two Ring Minnie Ball, and Round Ball. The lead balls have a beautiful patina.

The Uniform Buttons are 31mm and 29mm.

The lead balls were used with the Springfield Model 1861 percussion cap muzzle loader:

That’s super generous Joe! Neat history!
