Comments: This bullet was acquired directly from the Virginia digger. Included is a scanned image of the digger (on left), with his hunting buddies and their detectors dating to the 1970-80s. These particular bullets are not often recovered, and this example will be an excellent addition to any excavated Civil War bullet or general relic collection.
