Carved CW Bullets and Soldier's Art-Updated with Recent Finds

I added a carved bullet that I recently found to this box of carved bullets, a couple of whittled bullets, and soldier's art. These represent the majority of these that I have found in 15 years of hunting CW relics. All these were recovered by me from Middle Tennessee CS and U.S. sites. In our area, we dig one of these for about 100-150 dropped and fired bullets (unless you are Dman who seems to be much luckier than that). Many hundreds of my hunting hours are represented in this little box but knowing a CW Soldier personally fabricated them from bullets or campfire lead makes them special to me or anyone who loves the history of the Civil War. Thanks for looking and happy hunting from HOT Tennessee, Quindy.

Thanks and you are very welcome Nana. Our first night hunt was very relaxing and we may go again with Dixiedigger and the mighty Relic Hound this weekend. After the night hunt that you, Lisa, and Buckleboy went on, he may have quit hunting at all-LOL. Good luck Nana and Fall is not far off. Q.

hey nice finds !

Thanks Hound. Hope to see you this weekend. Try not to show us 3 old hounds up by finding the most bullets. HH, Quindy.

Thanks Mike. We do have the itch. I'd say Samantha will like the carved animals like the little dog in another year. Looking forward to Fall. Stay cool Buddy, Quindy.

They are very meaningful and fun to dig Cody but I'd just as soon dig some of those old gold coins and California nuggets like you do. HH, Bud.

Nice display Quindy! That carved dog is sweet.

Thanks Mainer. I almost chunked that one. I dug it at a spring in Smith County, Tennessee and found a breastplate about 20 ft. away. Take care, Quindy.

Q-man,
Congrats on another addition to your most excellent carved bullet display case. Those carved bullets are one of my favorite pieces to find too. So much more meaning to them. That one in the middle looks like a Scottie dog.
I'm looking forward to getting back to detecting again this fall.

Thanks MM. Don't be a wimp-Go Now-LOL. I heard of one guy who sent Dman a bunch of fired CW bullets as a gift and one bullet was a rare CW nipple protector. HH, Quindy.

Hey, I'm still recovering from last summers wedgie extraction. I could send you some pictures.

As far as, "I heard of one guy who sent Dman a bunch of fired CW bullets as a gift and one bullet was a rare CW nipple protector."
Who was that fool?
The truth is, I thought I would get rid of it because I didn't have a pair of them to wear.

Looking forward to seeing your mug in the next W & ET you big dog.
