Location Recovered: Apomattox
Description:
These are pristine drops from the Army of Northern surrender area. Finding Gardners this late in the war is extremely rare and shows they were not only on their last legs, but even then the soldiers knew them to be crummy and dropped them. One has an air bubble in the cavity which likely would've resulted in blow through at firing.
Each bullet was marked by the digger with the location and date it was recovered. Recovery dates are: 7/87, unknown and 1/90.
