Does this look like any of the camp lead you guys find? There was civil war activity in the area and it is lead. Thanks in advance!

Looks like it could be camp lead. The top photo has the indication of lead to surface or ground contact when it was initially melted. The bottom photo looks like a smooth puddle. I have found many pieces of melted lead and it can take on many forms and shapes. If there was any human activity in your area then there is a possibility that it is camp lead. Type of activity in the area and corrosion/color of the lead are the best indicators of how, when and why it got where you find it.

Thanks for the reply! It was found in a stream so it would make sense that it would have no patina, and I have found CW bullets in the same stream, so it would make sense. Thanks!
