Well after not hunting for two weeks, I finally had a quick hunt with Tinthumb. The finds were not that great, but it was fun, and way past overdue.
The minie seems like a different type than we normally find at that location. It is more rounded at the tip, where most that we find there have a sharper point.

Maybe just hit and squished it, but it dosent look deformed any. Any ideas.

I have been doing some research, it seems a little strange to me but the ones we have been finding look like Northern manufacture and this one looks like a Southern manufacture. Every story I have read says that the camp was supplied by Ft. Belcamp, but I have also heard some of the troops were from Kansas. Also it was used at least three times.

I have seen them rounded by the ramrod but there is usually a little bit of a groove when this happens. Can you mic it for length and width and a weight would be helpful also.
