bullets in wood

[GRAY GHOST]

hello all, shown are 4 bullets in wood. 2 or 3 of them are modern, but the one on the bottom i believe is a shot .36 cal. teardrop. they sure are fun to find. i have several others, but the bullets are not visible at all, one being very heavy. thanks, and enjoy. hh,

how do you find metal in wood. do you just run your md up and down the tree trunk? seriously.

hahaha, i do when nobody's watching! seriously, tho, i have found all of them - i got like 8 or 9 of them - some with civil war bullets in them, just laying on the ground or shallow. i guess the old tree finally died and rotted away. but the neat thing about finding bullets in wood is that the bullet releases lead oxide into the surrounding wood, it's a natural preservative. so the wood surrounding the bullet doesn't rot away. cool, huh? hh,
