Civil War bullet pro advice

Jburkes80 · Oct 7, 2017

I found 5 bullets today and 3 of them different. I have a good idea what they are but curious what y'all think. Starting in left .52 Richmond Labs Sharps, .54 Burnside, .52 Sharps Carbine. Thanks for any input. It was a good hunt today [emoji41]

Yep

Old Yankee Calvary.

Very prevalent in your area. Doesn't matter if your in Sussex or Petersburg, there were a ton of Sharps and Burnside Carbines used in those areas. Good digging and private message sent.

I believe what I have is a standard Sharps on left and the far right is Sharps Varient. I forgot to update post. I had a guy in FB group correct me on it. It has grooves and not raised rings.
