Bullet variety day two

relic nut · May 10, 2015

Went back to the bullet dump for a little while this morning and done real well. Found what I think is a Williams cleaner

This is a first for me. Also found what my be a pain bullet. It defiantly has been chewed on. Critter or soldier, its hard to tell but I think its cool.

Had a great few hours, 17 bullets, some melt and two general service eagle buttons.

This has been a great site for us. Back to work tomorrow :tongue3:

Hope to see you next week. HH RN

Great sampling of bullets, excellent hunting area for sure. Your bullet in the top photo is a Sharps carbine round.

You are correct. Just looked it up. Confederate ring tale sharps. Thanks for the correction. :occasion14:

Maybe someone had pain and needed to gnaw on something.. Nice bullets.

Cool to think about. It is from a camp within site of a battle field. I guess its possible.

Nice finds RN!!! I took a chewed on bullet from a CSA camp to my dentist who said that the bite marks were human. Gnawing animals generally have small lead punctures (except hogs-LOL). Being in roads with gravel cause this too. WTG, Q.

That's a lot of lead in just a couple of hours! I've found a number of "chewed" as well down here in La. With the number of wild hogs that we have, I've been told they are the most likely culprits - although, I guess we'll never really know.
