confederate used british made rosewood plugged enfeilds can be found --straight wood only " shaped" bullets would tend to rot most likely in the ground.

at a civil war camp site while digging a signal once --/I found a very small hand made wooden dice ( 1) it was very soft due to being water logged and I had to let it dry out to prevent it breaking up --it took along time but it did finally dry up.

I've got a few musket shot in wood from the Second Seminole War era (1835-1842). If I can locate them in the next few days, I'll post some photos.
