Battle of Cedar Mountain..What is with this Lead???

[tymcmurray]

I had the pleasure of hunting with Civilman, Hutch911 and Adam (VAdigger)
in the HEART of The Battle of Brandy Station in Culpepper Virginia. What a great
time!!! Hutch and Adam took us to 4 different sites.

You will NOT be disappointed!!!!
My find were a little slim, but I got an interesting Gardner that I wanted your
input about.
It looks like it was carved, melted, AND imprinted with cloth cross hatching.
I am no expert.
And PLEASE, nobody mention the possible Teeth marking. I sure don't want'
to open up that Pandora's box!!!

Absolutly neat finds, if they are teeth marks have ya ever heard the phrase"bite the bullet" used in Civil war when amputations had to be done. Just a thought. Hardrock

 

[Monty]

I was seeing teeeth marks too. Glad someone else did also! Monty

 

[pegleglooker]

It might be a bullet that someone had to " bite down on " while getting medical help.... Hence the expression " bite the bullet "... It could be something rare....

[Missouri_John]

It almost looks like one of the those 3 piece Shaler bullets with some melting on the 2 back pieces

 

[silverfreak]

Wouldn't ya like to know the history behind that bullet Very cool.

 

[DCMatt]

I'm guessing this piece had a very practical purpose - possibly wrapped inside the corner of a tent canvas with a cord tied tightly around it - sort of a make shift attachment after a grommet pulled off.

We've seen plenty of evidence on this forum that those boys were pretty handy with whatever was available.

But, as usual, I'm just guessing...
