    Very Nice Dug Relic condition Fired .577 or .58 caliber 3-Ring Rifle Bullet
    ,
    very evidently torn and flattened from impact, that was recovered from the Civil War Battlefield of Fredericksburg VA, and specifically found at Hamilton's Crossing in April 1971. Fired on 13 December 1862.
    This artifact was specifically recovered in the area of Meade's attack on the Confederate right (Jackson's line) during the Battle of Fredericksburg. This relic comes out of the collection of William A. Reger who lived in Berks County, Pennsylvania and relic hunted at a variety of sites from the late 1950s to the mid 1970s. Reger carefully identified his artifacts with typed labels. He passed away in Reading, Pennsylvania in 2011.
    The Battle of Fredericksburg, fought primarily on December 13th, 1862, is best remembered for the doomed Union frontal assaults on the Confederate position behind a stone wall on Maryes Heights. Earlier in the day, however. Meade's men nearly won the day by breaking through Jackson's line until they were driven back and suffered heavily in the Slaughter Pen. The original type-writer typed tag in the second photo is not included but was Reger's identification, however a copy of the tag, as well as a provenance letter
    will be
    included.
    We include as much documentation with the relics as we possess. This includes copies of tags if there are identification tags or maps, as well as a signed letter of provenance with the specific recovery information.
    All of the collections that we are offering for sale are guaranteed to be authentic and are either older recoveries, found before the 1960s when it was still legal to metal detect battlefields, or were recovered on private property with permission. Some land on Battlefields that are now Federally owned, or owned by the Trust, were acquired after the items were recovered. We will not sell any items that were recovered illegally, nor will we sell any items that we suspect were recovered illegally.
    Thank you for viewing!
