✅ SOLVED Civil War 3 ringer turned into something else?

[Ga_Farm_Hunter]

I think the thing I found today out of a civil war field might be a three ringer a soldier took and carved into something. The thing is I don't know exactly what he carved it into. My theories are Sinker(just never got to put a hole through it), or a game piece. If anyone has any ideas please leave a suggestion.

Resembles a Rook, sometimes called a castle. Always nice to find personal items like that. I've got a .58 carved into a chess piece that I was lucky enough to find in Resaca a few years ago.

Yes sir, A carved Minnie. Strange, it looks to be a game piece as suggested, but the base of the bullet almost looks as if the bullet were placed on the nipple and the hammer sent home like some of the soldiers would sometimes use a lead bullet for a nipple protector. Maybe this was done just to give this piece a unique look. Just a thought. Great looking piece. Nice find and Save of some CW History.
