Found lots of Buttons and Lots of Bullets but never a Bullet Button - New Pics!

Hi Folks,

Back again. Just hasn't been the right time to post lately. Hopefully I can be a bit more active now.

Got the chance to hunt a new site today that is in the middle of plantations dating from the 1700's and most were occupied by Union troops during the CW. Edisto Island - where I am hunting south of Charleston, Sc - was abandoned in 1861 so it was Union occupied for most all of the war.

I found this carved bullet and I had never seen one like it. Just had to share.

Sorry about the HUGE pics. Been a bit too long I guess.

Very cool Daryl.
Never saw one of those. It could double as a fishing sinker too.
Congrats,

Long time Doc. I hope all is well.


I guess you had to "make do" with what you had, to keep your britches up back then. Very cool craftsmanship.
