another bullet

I was pretty sure I was not going to top yesterday's hunt (see earlier post) but I did manage to find another bullet. It appears to be a small pistol bullet.

Randy, it looks like a modern day bullet. Anytime you see checkering in the groove like that, it's modern. To my knowledge, no CW bullet had that checkering in the groove. HH.

The groves are from where the bullet sat in its casing
I find tons of them 45 cal
probably from the late 1800s since the leasd has a nice patina

I found it at a battle site where a lot of recoveries have been made. When I first saw the white bullet in the dirt I got excited that I found another one. Then when I got the bullet out of the hole and saw the size I thought ok it is a pistol bullet. Then I saw the grooves after I cleaned it up a little and then I realized that it probably was after the war. I'll tell you one thing. Pinpointing that little booger took forever. I must have gone over that hole a dozen times. lol
