Help Identifying Lead Bullet?

[wallrat_1975]

I found this today in a field on my aunt's property. Her property is in the middle of where the original Collinsville, Oklahoma stood before being moved roughly a mile when the railroad arrived. I only had about a half hour of hunting this morning but will head back. I'll get better pictures if needed. I measured it with my calipers and it's 12mm. I'm unsure what that mark on the bottom is. It does have a mold seam going around it. Was it just a bad pour, i.e. not enough lead? It definitely is not magnetic at all and has a decent amount of white patina. It was about 7" deep.

I also found what appears to be iron pipes turned into nunchucks? I'll post a picture of that later. Definitely weird.

TIA and HH!!

Pipes

Here are the attached pipes. I have no idea. No history of martial artists on the property

Welcome to the T-Net site.

That ball is a tough call ... I made a funny.

IMO
It could be a mark from something it hit or was pulled out with a threaded device of some kind

Could be a pour thing too

Hope you get an answer ASAP, The Iron pipes ...No Idea.

Good Luck on your future hunts.

It looks like the beat it with a bullet starter, making that mark on it.

I do not believe the pipes are nunchucks.

 

[wallrat_1975]

The nunchucks was a joke. I have no clue what they were for. Big brother vs siblings?

 

[Yak1366]

The pipes are not lead. Perhaps wind chimes?

 

[wallrat_1975]

Correct, my bad, they are iron. They could be wind chimes but they are awful heavy. Great thinking though! Thanks

Could they be an improvised window sash counter weight?
you know the old kind that were attached by a rope with a pulley inside the wall to help the window go up and down easily.

They could be window or gate weights. The bullet appears to be a pistol ball, .36 caliber maybe...d2

I think the pipes may have been used to hold down a tent or awning. After going back out I've found some old rusty J hooks. Maybe a tent anchor. Thanks for all of the replies. Hopefully I'll find more to get a better idea of the site.

First thing I thought about pipes was tent related .... however if they are heavy that may rule that out ... most tents were made light for backpacking around

 

[wallrat_1975]

When I go backpacking and there is no good ground to stake in I tie the cords to rocks and bury them as an anchor. I'm thinking it may have been from an awning or something semi-permanent as a homestead was being built, but it's just a guess. I'm sure we will never know. I did find another unfired round ball of the same size today. I only have about an hour each night to hunt. Good thing it's my backyard
