I found this projectile the other day. Does anyone recognise this type of bullet and can ID it?
well its hollow on one end and typical bullet head on the other. and the patina on the lead indicates some age?Mackka said:What makes you think that it is a projectile Treasureman?

I know what your saying there but I have found other old lead items that are very similar brownish patina on them. indicating age I would imagine and what is in the mineralisation.Manpa said:To me it looks an odd color, every other bullet casing appears more leaden in color, this looks like it has been painted and then affected by high iron oxidation.
Too small to be a sash window weight, I hope someone can positively identify it.
Is it definitely lead?
yep have already said that to have seen some almost identical to that oneDeepseeker said:I'd put my money on an early blasting cap, especially if it was found around a mining area.
