Unusual dug percussion cap relics
« on: December 14, 2018, 07:00:15 AM »
I dug these on Leeland Farm (Stafford County, VA) about 15 years ago.  These came from a hut in the camp of the 9th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment.  The hut contained over 100 rounds of .69 Buck & Ball, 10 complete bottles and other odds and ends.  These however were the coolest relics,  intact packages of percussion caps still having paper and twine wrapping.

I tip my hat to you for careful digging.  Not sure if I found them they would be in such good shape coming out of the ground!  >:(
Best,
Carl
