A Hobby that Honors the Past

Did you know that during the Civil War, more than 1000 different types of bullets were used?  This is one reason Civil War bullet collecting has become a popular hobby.  Another reason is that the time of the Civil War saw changes taking place in the development of firearms and ammunition.  The old round musketballs of the Revolution were being replaced with bullets in the shape we are accustomed to.  While musketballs are found on Civil War battlefields, the most common type of bullet used was the .58-caliber bullet with three rings around the base.  Many bullets found are splattered out of shape.  If you’ve always been fascinated by the Civil War and firearms, Civil War bullet collecting is a hobby you will enjoy.

With the advent of Internet buying and selling, Civil War bullets have become more collectible, and the prices have gone up quickly.  Not only this, sometimes sellers are not informed and ask more than the bullet is worth.  For these reasons, if you are just starting out in Civil War bullet collecting, you will want to buy a good price guide.  You can even find a price guide online if that works better for you.

The dark and damp chambers of a cave serve as home to a number of creatures that can be both creepy and crawly. Some animals are accustomed to go inside caves just to rest or hibernate; while others are true blue dwellers that can’t survive outside the caves. No matter how big a cave is, it is a universe to countless animals that can be delicate or dangerous, minuscule or gargantuan.

Getting into caves could be the ultimate adventure for you. But such activity can present dangers that lurk in the dark. Living creatures can suddenly catch you off guard and bring you an itch or, worse, death. So be prepared for these animals when cave exploring.
