Hit a field today with my buddy Curt and I got 2 shield nickels, indian, crotal bell, a General service CW button, and what looks like a carved three ringer bullet, you can see knife carve marks on it.

Sounds like a good day to me - how were the obverses on the shields?

Nice finds man! That '05 Indian looks to be in good condition too!
Why would someone carve up a minie bullet?

Nice finds Terry! Ground just thawed out here, surprisingly, but I don't know if I'll be able to get out before the next freeze. Thanks for the pictures.

LOL, one would think a lonely soldier would be carving the exact opposite of a phallus if you get my drift..unless...
