Found this today on the same productive Confederate site. A weird hunk of crudely carved lead pierced by an iron rod. As always, your thoughts are much appreciated!
Well, The way it is twisted in the lead, I think Gunny nailed it!! You can see what appears to be the "twist" of the worm intermingled with the lead, and the shape of the lead is very similar to a pulled bullet. Great find!! Great hunting!! Regards, Richard
The tip of the bullet looks almost sealed to the tip of the iron rod. I would think the bullet tip would cave upon any extraction attempt. Seems to be a solid guess all the same!
