The bullet that is, found within 10 feet from the spot I found the 1904 IH. Lots of old purple broken bottles and ceramic around.

I learned this week from another thread that the ridges in the three grooves makes this a bullet from the 1900's.

They had bullets with three rings in the civil war but, its the ridges in the rings that makes this a newer bullet.

Those are always music to my eyes. Any signs of ash? I'd be returning with shovel & scratchers...

I did find a couple pieces of charred wood as I dug down, nothing major though. But I bet there is more!
