Authentic artifacts found at the site of the Battle of Gettysburg, PA-1863. This battle was a major win and turning point for the Union Army, having subsequently halted General Lee’s Gettysburg campaign-the southern forces invasion of the north. I visited the town and bought some amazing bits of history i thought were worth sharing
Below are some buttons belonging to various confederate soldiers..
some close-ups..
And below here we have some buttons that belonged to Union soldiers..
and some more close ups 
Now below are two bullets, one is partially smushed. We were told the bullet was fired and hit something-likely a tree or rock but I don’t remember exactly what he said. Any firearm experts, feel free to comment your take. 
Maybe it was a head-shot? 
And the best for last, 3 Musket-balls and a small cannon-ball, or possibly a grapeshot..(again any firearm experts feel free to comment)
