This grouping consists of a total of 141 minie balls, both dropped and fired, as recovered from two Gettysburg battlefield locations sometime after the fighting. Displayed in a wonderful, old wooden display case with a glass top, John P. Geiselman found sixty-seven minies on Big Round Top and seventy-four bullets in Deer's Woods, Gettysburg. The Ben Deer farm was located on the Taneytown Road, just south of and on the opposite of the road of the modern Artillery Ridge Campground. The case exhibits eight horizontal rows of recovered bullets.
All bullets are in very good condition. Minies all exhibit a coating of white oxidation from exposure to the air. These US and CS dropped minie balls, found by J. Planks on Big Round Top and John Geiselman in Deer's Woods on the Gettysburg battlefield, are identified in John Geiselman's collection by his own handwritten paper labels.
