✅ SOLVED Bullet type sphere strange writing on it.

[cyzak]

I found this awhile back made out of lead with a copper coating on it about the size of a quarter. I first thought bullet but it’s has weird writing on it possibly Arabic I don’t know. Has anyone seen something like this? Or understand this type of writing.

I wonder if it's out of a pin ball game machine.

It's an engraved pachinko ball.

Pachinko is basically a Japanes slot machine. Very popular and the balls are very common. Often, like gambling chips, the balls are engraved with the Pachinko parlor's name.

Interesting this wasn’t found close to civilization now.But back then it would’ve been where there had been some Chinese miners.

I can see a pachinko ball being repurposed by a kid with a slingshot, it would make great ammo, I used ball bearings in my slingshot and wrist rocket.

If it was round it was ammo.
Best slingshot was 1 ft surgical tubing, too heavy to shoot free handed, put it in a brace, stretch it out 5 ft.
A regular marble was good for 450ft on a lobbed shot.
5 gallon ice cream container later....

Definitely a Pachinko ball.
