Burke Phase Curvilinear Complicated Stamped Rim Shard

[NCPeaches]

Today I found a rim shard that is new to me. It's a common find across the county at the Berry site and from the Mississippian time period. Since it's tempered with soapstone around here that makes it Burke Phase. It was an exciting find for me. Thanks for looking and HH!

I found this too. Anyone have any ideas about what it is or what section I can put it in for ID?

Thanks Triumph, I hope it is. Did they make them out of copper?

I thought most from that period were lead, but I am no expert that’s for sure.

I don't know anything about bullets and it might not be copper but the green color makes me think it is. I'll research it and see what I can figure out though. Thanks for replying.

Found another shard today but not the same kind and also very worn and rough but that's all cool with me.

It looks like a copper jacketed bullet. The copper jacketed bullet was invented in 1882. You might try the What Is It forum but it will help if you have exact measurements of the diameter and length using a calipers. Also, is the bottom flat or concave?

That's a modern copper jacketed bullet

It's flat on the bottom, I will post it in the what is it forum tomorrow. Thanks!
