rusl4 Posted June 16, 2014 Share #1 Posted June 16, 2014 I found these 2 Minnie balls while relic hunting near Kennesaw Mountain (on private property with lifelong permission). The bullets were in a row about 1 foot by 20 feet where a tree had fallen and rotted away. I didn't notice until I was home that 2 of them had been shot together with one entering the tree and then another entering right behind it. One of them still retains wood. Thought you might find it interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brig Posted June 18, 2014 Share #11 Posted June 18, 2014 I love these kinds of Civil War finds...especially when you find the two opposing rounds that collided in the air...really poignant reminders of the war Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusl4 Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share #12 Posted June 19, 2014 Yes rclay49 it is addicting, when you dig up something and know that your the first person to see the relic is a rush, to hold it in your hand is really a cool feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4th Miss Cav Posted June 24, 2014 Share #14 Posted June 24, 2014 A rare find, I have only found one in 30 years of hunting. I have a 58 that was hit from behind by a 54. Found them at Port Hudson LA about 10 years ago. There was some serious lead flying. It sometimes makes me wonder how anybody survived in some of those battles.

jgawne Posted June 25, 2014 Share #15 Posted June 25, 2014 these are very cool, however I suspect that the vast majority of collision bullets are actually one bullet hitting another than has come to rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
