All of the bullets photographed are the exact bullets you will
receive unless otherwise noted.
All of the newly
listed
bullets will be listed on this page (Please Scroll Down). If you would like to search through Enfields please use the link for Enfield bullets. If you would like to search
the sales database using the McKee & Mason system please use the following link.
All excavated bullets
have been found on private property with permission.
Do you have a bullet
wish list? If so, please email me with the types you are looking for. If those
bullets become available I will contact you.

D737 Small
Cluster of Dug Spencers
Here is a neat little
clump that packs some fire power. I counted 17 bullets in just this little
clump. This clump also had a large cannonball resting against it as you can see
on one side. This clump is held together by crustacean and wood. This would look
perfect on your desk and is going to be a great conversation piece. I would
prefer to bring this to a show to drop off.

.50 Foil & Paper Cartridge for the Smith Carbine
The bullet slides out
of this example. I normally don't like these but this is a great display piece.
You can take the entire bullet out and look at it as well as see the wadding and
powder that are below it. Truly a neat educational piece for almost half the

Big Brick of Dug Spencers!
Here is a very
excellent pile of shipwreck recovered Spencer cartridges. This isn't the biggest
one that I have seen but it is the biggest that I have been able to offer. This
clump is mostly Spencer cartridges but there is a bayonet scabbard tip in the
mix. You can still see where a 24lb. Cannonball sat up against this piece. This
piece has been in several collections including Jim Thomas's Collection. I
cannot mail this piece. It must be picked up or dropped off at a show.

Y352
(Qty. 15) Pulled and Wormed Civil War Bullets
Here is a nice
grouping of pulled/wormed civil war bullets. Bullets were extracted from the
barrel of the musket for several reasons. The powder that was behind the bullets
may have been bad or perhaps damp. The soldiers may have also been coming into
camp for the evening. This group shows a mix of different bullets that were used
during the war. All of these have been pulled at least once. A couple of them
have been pulled a few times after the first, and second attempt failed. These
are the exact bullets you will receive.

The following bullets
(Y304-Y312) are what are referred to as the .52 Columbia Arsenal Sharps. Upon first glance
these may be appear to be a regular .52 Sharps with an uncut sprue. However,
there may be more to the story than meets the eye. The majority of these bullets
were recovered from the Congaree River in South Carolina many many years ago. It
is thought that perhaps these bullets were stockpiled in the arsenal. Maybe the
sprues were to be removed at a later date? No one knows why they were never
removed. These bullets may have had the sprue left on them in order to affix a
paper cartridge to the bullet like a regular tie ring Sharps. One thing that is
important to note is that these bullets are found in the low country of South
Carolina. They appear to have been issued with some sort of cartridge attached.
The following bullets show the differences in the ones that came from the dump
site. Please note that some appear to have a very small conical cavity on the
end of the sprue. This is created when the lead is poured and begins to cool. I
listed these all at once you can see the subtle differences. It isn't that often
that you get to see this many together at once.

Complete Set of Williams Cleaners Types I, II, and III.
Complete excavated set
of Williams Cleaner bullets. These bullet were issued approximately every 15
rounds. The purpose of these bullets was to scrape the build up of gun powder
(fouling) from the inside of the bore. Type I had a zinc disk attached to a
post. Types II and III had zinc disks between the bullet and the lower disk.
Upon firing the lower disk would push forward causing the zinc disk to expand
outward and clean the fouling from the inside of the barrel. This was necessary
in order to prevent the soldiers from constantly breaking down their entire
weapon to clean the bore.

nozzle. Upon firing, the powder would burn down through the nozzle and into the
chamber of the copper vessel causing the bullet or musket shell to explode. This

Extracted .44 Elam O. Potter Bullet
These differ
from the .44 Colt Dragoon bullet. They are just a little shorter. This
is an example of an extracted revolver bullet. If a bullet were to
misfire it had to be removed from the cylinder. Because the cylinders
were only open on one end, the bullets had to be extracted from the
nose. Soldiers would place the tool into the open chamber and slide it
along the edge between the bullet and the inside of the cylinder. Once
the tool was in as far as it could go the soldier would pull on the tool
creating leverage and putting pressure on the bullet. The tool would dig
its way into the bullet and it could then be removed. The soldier tried
three times on this particular one.

Carved Nipple Protector
Here is a
small carved nipple protector made out of a roundball. These were
fashioned by placing a musketball between the hammer and nipple and then
slamming the hammer down over and over again. This would protect the
breech of the barrel from water and give the hammer something to rest on
so the nipple didn't shatter.
