Speed,
Good guesses just under the wire!
I see I stumpted everyone with the middle, left specimen. As with all items, these are easier to indentify while holding them in your hand as opposed to looking at a "flat" photo....and they're much cooler in person too!
And for Wes's sake, all the bullets are 3-ringers!
Okay, here we go...
Top row: Two 3-ringers that struck perpendicularly...this pic shows other side with an unfortunate digger's scratch; US buckle struck by bullet, found near South Mountain, MD, the 2nd Wisconsin of the Iron Brigade was the only regiment to fight were this was found.
Bottom row: (Saving the mysterious item in the middle for last!
) 3-ringer that struck cloth...I bet that left a mark, from the Wilderness...I also found an Enfield with cloth pattern in the Wilderness but this shows the pattern best; 3-ringer with remains of a button back wrapped around it...super cool; 3-ringer shot into musket tompion.
Middle row: on the right is a 3-ringer in about a 5-inch piece of bone I found here at Gettysburg; AND last but not least, in the middle row, on the left..........
drum roll............
3-ringer that struck the exposed screw head opposite the lock plate on an Enfield rifle.
The attached pic shows the other sides....L to R: cloth; mid-air hit; button back; screw head.
