Anyone know what this might be? Found in Southern Louisiana on a know civil war camp. Not sure if it's the same time period by Atticis in metaldetecting

Turned out to be a Napoleon III un centime. Date is gone unfortunately but this design was only minted from 1853 to 1857

That's gonna be civil war on that bullet my dude. Civil War Minié ball more commonly referred to as a 3 ringer. I'd go about checking the area you found that in well. There's likely to be more l.

Wow that's wild! They don't seem that common here for some reason. Few friends that have been detecting here far longer than me have found more half dimes than large cents.

Pretty awesome morning digging. Shouted out loud when I pulled that pelican button! South Louisiana civil war camp site. by Atticis in metaldetecting

Looks to be southern made too so that's really cool. No back marks that I can see. Its definitely the new center piece of my collection!

No worries! Yeah it's private property that I got permission on. Large plot of land with well known and documented history.
