Another Holy Grail

[Civil War Nut]

Hidy to all . Well after finding the C. S. buckle my nex goal was to find a bullet in a tree . THAT I did today while hunting at Jackson for the Museum . There was two about 8" apart the one that I carved out to where yal could see it looks like a .44 cal. sharps dont know for sure . The other wood I got a reading like a .36 cal. I just let the Museum carve on that one . Found four .54 cal. minnies , and small lead . Going back tomorow . The tree was just an old snag in the pix. that had fell down , it took me a while to get the wood off around the bullet . Now I dont know what to look for next . Hope yal enjoy this as much as I did finding it . HH & good luck .

Great find, congrats.

Hidy Ya. You know I didnt thank about that , thanks for the thought and dont run off I just might find one , now that you brought it up . I found a spoon Nov. or Dec. that had a bullet hole in it . I found a .45 cal. James bullet that had been shot last week , took a pix. of it and another with my phone got up and started hunting agin . When I got all the way to the truck , no two bullets , I forgot to pick them back up . Have to go back and get them some day Ha . Not the first or 2nd time I have done that eather .
