Hi everyone, here is some of the carved bullets/ lead that I have been lucky to find. I find these very interesting because they are one of a kind and a personal object. Would love to see more, please post your pics.

You have some really nice ones there.I am the same way.I always thought they are such a neat piece of history to find.And they are very collectable.I have some to post but this damn camera I have goes through batteries like a fat kid goes through candy.I am scratching my head over that piece of led that is carved RED,really neat!Good thread.

Cool carved lead! The top left one looks like the beginnings of an acorn maybe.

Thanks the one that says red is cool. If you look close you can see a lot of knife marks. The letters are raised so it took a lot of time to make. It looks like he may have melted two bullets together, don't know. I am not sure if they are his initials or nick name. Would love to know

Those are all extraordinary finds. Something someone held, created and carried while waiting for the next engagement or the next march into the next camp would be my best find for sure! For me, that collection would be priceless and not for sale.

Thanks old dude, I agree, not for sale. Money disappears, history in your hand can last a life time.

I finally got some batteries for this rogue camera.These are my favorites.I found a few hearts,I guess in allot of cases they might have chose to make hearts because they where something that was easyer to depict.That one piece I think maybe depicts a angel or some kind of bug?That is one of my top favorites because it has allot of workmanship
