Got out with Gary to an overgrown cellar hole.snuck out a couple keepers.4 pewter buttons all in the same hole basically, a 1858 flying Beagle(it's a dog ..can never get a good one lol) penny,a 1860 fatty IH , a pewter kids tea cup and pretty neat old 1860-ish cast iron cap gun.
anyone know the age of this bullet casing? and what kind of gun fired it? has a double pin strike on end :confused:
