    Description

    I found this in Chesterfield Co., VA. in the 70's. I just don't remember what part. It was either on The Drewry's Bluff battlefield or Bermuda Hundred. What is unusual about this fragment is the copper sabot never took to any rifling from the barrel. Fired from a smooth bore cannon?
