I posted a few days ago one of my best spills ever found.
This was the 6 silvers, 4 wheats, 1 buffalo, and 1 47 Jefferson plus the maritime anchor buckle.
Date ranges are from 1936 to 1959 as far as coins go. One more item I found in the spill is this copper jacketed bullet. The lead has turned white due to the elements in the soil and age. Question I would like to present is how old could this bullet be? Do you suppose it is related to the spill or coincident it was in the same spill area?
I wanted to just add to the original thread but I was hoping for more info on just this bullet and a possible relation to the spill

Without measurements and weight I would guess it is a Full Metal Jacket pistol bullet 0f 9mm or 45 Caliber that hit something hard. Either one could date 1900 to Present.
