Here's my Louisiana CW display so far. I go to the area to visit the family each year and sometimes get in some detecting. Most of these finds came from the Red River campaign.

The middle bullet is a 71 cal, the biggest one used there. A 69 cal is next to it.

Here's a complete collection of the Josephine plantation, given to me, not dug. A distant relative lived there after the war and had them which he gave to me. And the large disks are souvineres from the annual Shrimp & Petroleum Festival. steve in so az

i like the display Steve and i hope you continue to add to it . i could'nt imagine being hit with a piece of lead as big as a .69 or .71 caliber , it must of been an incredible blow . i like the tokens as well . very nice again. :beerbuddy:

Del - Yeah, in the CW movies a guy is hit but keeps on going. I think he was done for when hit by one of these sized bullets. steve
