CASE OF RELICS FROM LEESBURG, VA

$20.00 SOLD

Quantity Available: None

Item Code: 236-1019

Offered here is a 6.5” x 5.5” Riker case of relics recovered from an early Confederate camp near Leesburg, VA. The Battle of Ball’s Bluff occurred in October of 1861 as a result of Federal forces receiving reports of Confederates camped in the area. This camp which was located near present-day Route 15, is where these relics were recovered many decades ago by author/publisher Dean Thomas.

Included is a rusty musket “wiper” and eleven musket balls, both dropped and smashed. Dean hunted this camp with another well-known relic hunter, Chuck Thompson.

A nice group of relics from one of the earliest engagements.  [jet][ph:jet]
