Got out this afternoon for a couple hours. Found the piece of lead first. I am sure it is just a piece of camp lead but it might be shaped. What do you all think? The other side is a lot smoother. Next found the big bullet. It has a little ding on the other side but still pretty nice. The pistol bullet was the last find of the day. After cleaning it up, it looks like somebody might have chewed on it a little. Appears to be a couple teeth marks on each side. Buddy also got a couple. Pretty good afternoon.

Nice trio of lead! There was lots of troop involvement around Greenville - good luck and hope you find a nice buckle! HH/NS



P.S. I used to live in Johnson City, Elizabethton, Savannah ;D - Do you know Snake (lives in Gray) he has one of the best CW collections I've ever seen.

Looks like the one in the middle might be a carved bullet. Nice! Tsgman

Congratulations on the great civil war bullets. I hope to find a skirmish site someday and get a few bullets or other CW artifacts myself.
