West Coast Minnie Ball

[Lexicon Devil]

Quick hunt in the Northwest today yielded this baby! Dug 1 mile from General Pickett's house when he was a Captain, before the civil war. But then I got rained out. so it was very quick.

A minie ball would be a larger caliber with a hollow base, but a nice old bullet none the less.
