Fired & carved .58 cal CW bullets

Thought I'd share some neat finds from the weekend. Look closely at the carved minie and you see knife marks. One of the fired bullets I dug out of a steep embankment about head-high.

Its fun to think about what the soldier was thinking about when carving these. The one looks like a tooth.

I thought the same. I wondered if he lost a tooth and was carving a replacement!
