Yep, would love to know the story on the cut bullet.
Here's my theory. Someone many years ago was cutting firewood and it was lodged in a tree. He cut it in half and the man didn't notice or care and it fell out of the wood.
Here is an example
It also happened to me a few years back on my own property with a round ball. I cut it in half as smooth as could be, then lost it before I got back to the house.![]()
