Balloon head 45-70 - Gussy - 10-18-2018 My metal detecting buddy dug up a balloon head 45-70 case. Flat bottom, international primer, no markings. Found in Walla Walla, WA. Any idea of age? RE: Balloon head 45-70 - Don McDowell - 10-18-2018 early 1870's, military issue. RE: Balloon head 45-70 - Gussy - 10-19-2018 Darn phone can't spell. Changed words and the proof reader didn't catch it. Should have read internal primer. RE: Balloon head 45-70 - Don McDowell - 10-19-2018 I have a spot on top of a ridgeline in my pasture, that over looks a number of teepee rings, that has several piles of those spent cases in a line , much like a skirmish line. |
