kac Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I believe they are Yankee 3 ringers, might be from a Colt Peacemaker, mid 1800's. I found these in a pond buried about 10" down in really hard pack sand. Shortly after I recovered them they oxidized. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kac Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 I had a gun expert check them out, said they aren't worth much maybe a buck or 2 ea but still cool to find them. They came out after the musket balls. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
