Hi and welcome aboard!!
I dug up over 250 1853 Pattern Enfield minies a couple of weeks ago. Some were Iron cored so they were early, all were fired but any that I could see into the cavity had numbers or letters.
The area was used as a Militia Target range and used from 1855-1864 only.
Same bullets as used in the US CW..but found in Ontario Canada.
I sometimes hunt Huron Indian Villages that are several miles north of me...found several French trade items that date 1600-1640.
A good friend has a very large collection of flint arrowheads and other very early bits.
Happy hunting!!!
Please post some photos of your finds.
