Here's the lead I found on my last serious sluicing outing (on April Fools Day!) what about you?

PS: what sort of mini-bullets are those larger ones?

Now add about ten grams of liquid mercury and you have what I recovered daily in a remote spot in Ca. - dredging.

Actually, they're not bullets but pellets...8-)

Look like .22 caliber, high-powered lead pellets used in many air rifles,
so it appears you found a target site from the past. Lead shot,
shredded lead from larger caliber bullets..yeesh, I'd be putting on
flack jacket and looking over my shoulder..lol
 

yep .22 pellet
