An excavated lock plate for the Tower rifle made imported from England during the Civil War. Also known as the Model 1853 Enfield they were used by both sides during the War. It was found on the Pickett’s Mill Battlefield in Georgia. The “Tower” markings are faint but there. The artifact has gone through electrolysis which separated the nut, plate and hammer as shown. It was rusted in place at one time.
The Battle of Pickett's Mill was fought on May 27, 1864. The Federal Army, having been stopped in its advance on Atlanta two days earlier by the Battle of New Hope Church, attempted to outflank the Confederate position. Some 14,000 Federal troops were selected for the task, and General Howard was given command.
