Interesting Confederate Camp Lead Find

[Elvis]

I dug this today in an area that we have determined to be a Confederate camp. Any ideas?

I’m not sure what that is although I know for sure there are always strange What’s It’s in those camps.

How big is this fragment Elvis, maybe re-post a pic of it next to a coin for scale.

You may also want to post this in the What is it forum,

Nice find! Not sure what it is though!

Looks like the bottom edge has lettering on it?

It's a cut down sheet of lead from a larger section.
I find these all the time, no way of linking it to the camp, although if they were stealing lead from elsewhere to melt down into bullets, it maybe a handy size bit to carry.
