Buck&ball, three fingers,& lead ingot with markings.

I dug these Monday at a CW look out post in the South Carolina Low Country. The first four were the ones I dug this week and the others were dug earlier at the same site. One of these was obviously pulled as you can see. One of the others appears to have been squeezed from the bottom. I can see tool marks in three spots around the base. Was this accidentally loaded the wrong direction? I would love to hear everyone's opinion. Lastly is this lead ingot. It has what appears to be a "soldier " nealing with a rifle in his hand. Is this an ingot four making bullets during the civil war? I will wait to hear from the T Net experts on this one. I have only found bullets and the ax head at this site. Strange that buttons haven't popped up. No idea why. HH TO ALL!

Your lead ingot is a "Dutch Boy" paint advertising ingot circa 1920's for lead paint. National lead co. 111 Broadway N.Y.C. I have found them at old home sites.

I was stationed in Charleston in the early eighties. Great place, great people. I miss it. Way to go on the bullets. Glenn
