As we wait for the opportunity to get back to outdoor activities, I realized it would be a good time to revisit a metal detecting mystery. I take you through some old (late 1800s to early 1900s?) cartridge finds I recovered from a site here in Oregon and explain what has continued to confound me about them. I also show a "Grand Army of the Republic (Union Civil War Veterans)" marker I found a few feet away, which seems to go along with the vintage of the cartridges and their possible military origin. Whether the mystery of the cartridges and the bizarre holes is solved or not, I hope you enjoy seeing this little slice of American history. Thanks for watching! Dimensions are listed below:
Small casings
Outer diameter (neck): 0.470"
Outer diameter (base): 0.471"
Rim diameter: 0.544"
Length: 1.099"
Inner diameter: 0.400"*
Large casings
Outer diameter (neck): 0.549"
Outer diameter (base): 0.550"
Rim diameter: 0.626"
Length: 2.008"
Inner diameter: 0.429"*
Long casings with the holes
Outer diameter (neck): 0.425"
Outer diameter (base): 0.472"
Rim diameter: 0.540"
Length: 3.250"
Inner diameter: 0.285"*
*The neck is inrolled a bit so this measurement is probably not too reliable.
