Small carved lead hammer my girlfriend found

[freddy78]

Took my girlfriend metal detecting and she found this little carved hammer which I think is pretty cool. Even has a hole where the handle would've been. A nice piece of civil war soldier art

That's an exceptionally cool little piece, Freddy! Will you be whittling a hickory handle for her?

I have seen a lot of carved pieces but none as cool as that. You need to show that one to Vol1266. He loves that carved lead.
