I think I stumbled on a little Confederate camp today. Found 7 Enfields and this cartridge...I know I have seen them before with the 2 strikes on the base...what kind is it?

From the civil war era, the double strikes were usually from the Henry Rifle. Although most Infields are generally found on Confederate camps, both sides definitely used them.
 
Congratulations. I have several enfield bullets that I have found at a union camp probably 40 or more I have found on a union camp.
 
Went back today for about 45 minutes found these.

Yeah I would say the enfields are confederate. Especially since you found some nice Gardner bullets.I like that harmonica reed also. Congratulations.
