How many have one of these?  I don't see one in M&M.  Where have they been dug?  What kind of money do these bring?

[ETEX]

Jim, I have one in my collection that I picked up from Dean. He didn't have a dig location on the bullet.

I have one  (the only reason ETEX was allowed to get his!).  Mine was recovered by our very own Coonboy on his property around his house.

[ETEX]

Thank you eMikey for letting me get the bullet.

[Jim T]

So is this a TM bullet? 

[ETEX]

Jim, I would like to hear from those that have dug the bullet or those that have them in their collections also. Have any of the Louisiana or Arkansas diggers found this bullet?

I found several  behind our home on Crumps Hil (Where Col. DeBrays Texas Cavalry troops were engaged with the Union Cav) on April 2, 1864. When you and Dean visited our museum around seven years ago I had them displayed in my four wall cases as unknown minie.Over that period of time several forum members purchased most from me. I had a couple of fired ones also. We also found a couple of fired ones from Cavalry skirmish at Wilson's Farm (April 7, 1864. As to where they were mfg. is still unknown. I sold the ones I had for around $75 ea. Maybe too high or maybe to low.

[ETEX]

Terry, thanks for the input on finding more than one on your property.

RJ, have you happened to unearth any during your digs?

It would be great to be able to identify the origin of the bullet and be able to either identify the bullet as a TM bullet or a east of the Mississippi bullet so any information by any of the members would be greatly appreciated.

Michael, I have not had the good fortune of finding this bullet yet. I do remember seeing Terry's nice specimens while he had them on one of my trips to visit his wonderful museum.
