Here is one of mine. It is a "57" base stamped confederate Enfield bullet that has been carved flat on one side and then had the initials (F.W.B.) carved into the flat spot. I can't seem to get very good pictures.
You should make the thread carved bullets or any carved lead. I have found a lot of bullets but never a carved one, but I did find a little carved lead heart. The bust relic fourms would get lots of replies for bullets but I'm not sure about here. I guess we'll see!

Nice one DirtyMike with initials makes it even more special
BuckleBoy that a real nice example you have there
Here is my best - only because it's my only one i ever found. Dug it
up at a circa 1758 farmhouse in 1998 not to far from the front porch.
The two others were bought at a civil war dealer i think a 54 and 58
caliber ? I'm guessing the carved one was a 54 caliber ? It's not a
fancy one for sure . But i'm happy with it
Here is the rest of my carved bullet collection. About a third of these came out of 2 large camps. There are chess pieces, poker chips, toys, pencils, and some random carved bullets. I have some more here and there in other displays.

Re: Post your best carved bullets and lead....
Dug this one in Virginia, I think it has the face of Jesus carved
on it. I had a thread a while back on this bullet. If interested
type in Jesus bullet in TreasureNet search box. More pics. there.
