[HuntingRelics]

Can someone please help me ID this bullet? First one I've found like this. Hunting in CW camp. This one was surrounded by round balls and 3 ringers in close vicinity.

Help I D bullet. Possible French Triangle Base (Sep 08, 2008, 12:56 AM)​

Yep that what you have, a French Dragoon or as some people call it,a French triangle bullet. Is it a drop or has it been shot? I would say that it could be a high base,but not an extra high base I don't believe. Not really sure what a good price would be on it,as I have not bought one in a while,Jonathon.

You have dug a NICE! Carved .69 caliber 'French triangular base variant'.

Nice find.

Mississippi. I was thinking it was carved, thanks for the confirmation. Thought it would be odd if it fired that way.

Kind of looks like it was carved into a game piece... possibly a pawn for chess?

I would have said carved and then stuffed on a broken triangular bayonet but I like the other explanations better (:
