Several yrs ago i was hunting a camp and found this. It wasn't deep at all ...just under the leaves.
I almost discarded it thinking it was a piece of broken shovel or a piece of metal drum or something. But then it dawned on me, when i put it against my body and it conformed perfectly , that it might be a piece of body armor.
6 months later i returned to that camp and found this smaller piece of metal with a brass rivet in the upper right corner. Ordinarilly I would probably have discarded both pieces as trash.
Imagine my surprise when i got home and put the pieces together . Notice the bullet hole in the shoulder area and the large bullet damage in the stomach area. it cracked between the 2 bullet holes
