This relic is a large artillery shell fragment, being the nose portion of a 3” Dyer shell. This fragment is 3.5” tall. Iron is rusty and pitted. This portion exhibits the typical round nose of the Dyer and has the fuse hole.

This comes from the Gregory A. Coco collection. This was recovered in the 1950s on the Coco family farm just northeast of Mansura, Louisiana. The Battle of Mansura was on May 16, 1864.

Gregory A. Coco was born in Marksville, Avoyelles Parish, Louisiana in 1946. He served in Vietnam and was a Park Ranger at Gettysburg NMP for many years. Greg enjoyed historical research and authored many books relating to the Battle of Gettysburg, most notably “A Vast Sea of Misery” and “A Strange and Blighted Land”.  [jet][ph:L]
