Best Civil War Lead

Ok, we have the topic best Carved bullet or lead. Not sure if a best bullet has been posted. I'll start if it hasn't. This is the most perfect dropped I have found. Not a mark on it and looks like it was cast yesterday. Sharps.

I guess no one elses lead is worthy to stand up to riggers of this magnificent specimen

Are those crickets I hear?

I think this thread is invisible

I figured the bullet posting was doing much right now, so here is a Dog carved out of lead that I found in a camp.

Great looking drop. (it's perfect ) Mine look like this most times.

This isn't a bullet but it is lead and I believe it was carved from an artillery shell sabot. I dug this in a civil war pit. Evidently the soldier that carved it wrung off the heads. I dug the whole area out but couldn't find the heads or legs. It's about 3" long and 2-3/4" high. Scratched on the back is

                                         thirteen
                             May 16                  1863

                 I have no idea what the 13 means There is also something scratched down the horses neck which might be the soldier's name. I and some other's have tried several ways to bring it out but we were never able to.

That is soo cool looking. I can't wait to dig up something personal that has a regiment number or someones name or something. Found a catholic religious medallion in an encampment one time but it wasn't engraved, darn it.
