    Very interesting dig. You would make a great archaeologist. I camped on a farmers field @Antietam Battlefield in 1960 with the Boy Scouts when I was 13 yro. From 100 years of plowing the field there were thousands of surface finds of Minie Bullets every step you took. I was named after Robert E. Lee, so you can imagine what a thrill it was to experience this.

    @scadstersworld5634 2 года назад

    Gin, that is a fuse that came out of a projectile of some kind. I found one similar to that one time and it is a Parrott shell fuse. The 2 little holes (One of them is bent out of shape on the one you found) is where two metal prongs on the fuse-removal tool goes into the holes to either remove fuse or screw it back into the projectile. The length of the fuse will give you an approximate idea of how thick the projectile is where the fuse goes in.

    Masterful day, Gin. Those are really rare finds ("fusees")....Gunners (cannons) set timed fuses to explode the "shell" overhead in the air for "maximum dispersion" of destructive fragments...to wound, mame, kill (neutralize) as many of the enemy as possible. FINDING intact fusees...is, well, exceedingly rare....and you got TWO on the same hunt day. Outstanding !!!
