Was camping near a CW battlefield-located a patch of woods not on Govt property-Figure id throw the coil down for the last hour and a half of the day..Found some interesting relics and current garbage(not included)-Relics included various shotshells-Very interesting small crotal bell(?) with some decorations, not sure if CW era....Also what appears to be lead of some nature possibly mixed with a another metal? Did a little research in hopes that it might be a minie ball?? Noticed that some bullets of the era were mixed with Zinc? it weighs in at 26grams, so if I did the conversion correctly it should be 401 grains?? Also tried to find a conversion for weight to bore diameter? all I could find is the possibility of around .637 caliber and up I know its mangled and I might be wishful thinking, but....Any suggestions/conjecture appreciated..Glad I chanced it-More research to come..Good Luck and HH!!
