a few bullets (one carved!) and an eagle button

[diggervet]

went out today for a short two hour hunt and found about 11 bullets and an eagle button. one bullet appears to be carved, not sure what that soldier was making or thinking, but it's definitely carved. Had a similar hunt a week or so ago, found about a half dozen bullets and an eagle button. similar finds, different days but enough to keep me going back! Thanks for looking and happy hunting to everybody!

That's a nice carved bullet. Sometimes we will never know what the soldiers purpose was when he carved the bullet. Just a lonely bored man with a bullet and a knife.

Nice work. Cool finds. I love finding civ era. Finding that item then imaging from that spot what a soldier was going through.
