Title: Unknown 69 minie
Post by: rommack on July 20, 2022, 12:08:29 PM

This solid base 69 bullet was dug at Port Hudson years ago .Terry Waxham had also dug one in his North Louisiana area, and another one was dug at Port Hudson. I cannot find it in any book and was wondering if any of the forum guys know any info on it.

Hi Ronnie,
here is a pick of the one Terry Waxham dug years ago. It has the same base as yours.
