Carved Bullet
This excavated carved bullet is an excellent example of campsite life of the Civil War soldier. Every now and then, bullets are recovered with whittle marks or, in rare instances, intricate carvings, hand-crafted by soldiers using their pocket-knives just to pass the time.
In this case four notches were carved into the bullet's base rim. It has an overall off-white patina and is in good condition. It measures approximately .44 x .93 inches. Its cavity is approximately 5/16 inch deep. It weighs approximately 293 grains. Recovery location is unknown.
What I appreciate most of all about a carved relic is the notion that the soldier actually handled it. It will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War bullet or general relic collection.
