DOUBLE CIVILWAR 3 RINGERS IN SAME PIECE OF WOOD.....

[Ronin9868]

Hi All,

I found this piece of wood last weekend while searching for Civil War relics. Also found my Eagle Breastplate so pretty much forgot about EVERYHING else. Well, The wood gave off a huge solid tone so I knew there was more than likely a bullet inside. However, the wood showed no entry points and no way to peek in. So I carefully made a sharp cut all around the wood and used a small wedge to spit the wood. For all I knew at that point it could have been a modern slug. Anywho, to my surprise it spit perfectly revealing not one but two 3 ringers shot into the same piece. One mini is in plan view and the other is pretty much dug in deep. Looking from the inside you can see how both mini's came in from the same direction and the tree grew around them. By far this is a cool piece of history. The wood is now preserved and Ill be looking for a nice frame to mount it. Thanks for looking.

HH- Ronin
