I didn't get much time to dig this weekend but got a decent assortment of lead for the few hours I had. The first couple of pics are of the "chewed bullet", couple of marks definitely look like teeth- if I'm right this is my first.
I saw the Scovil Waterbury backmark on the button before I got it clean, lots of gold stars but not a military issue. :(
Nothing much this time around, did find a cellar hole for next weekend though! :thumbsup:

Nice finds. I'm pretty sure the backmark on your Scovills button puts it in the 1840's.

Great finds Chopper!
Makes you wonder who chewed that slug and if they made it.
That button has such nice detail that you sure don't see any more.

Thank God for tadays painkillers. If the bullet didn't kill you back then the lead would. You really have some nice finds. Congrats....
 
Awesome CW finds. Nice. Hopefully I can find some good lead soon.
