Interesting Civil War bullet, Jesus face carved on it?

[Roadquest]

I found this bullet on private property that a friend of mine owns in Dinwiddie Virginia.
This property saw a lot of action during the Civil War. I have found many other bullets.
And, a few other things.

But, the Confederate soldier that had this one, carved a face on it. I could be wrong, But,
I think the soldier carved the face of Jesus on this bullet. That is what it looks like to me.

I had my son, and my sister look at it, and they agreed with me.
This is the best picture I could get of it.

Iron Patch, Ya, you're right. Look at anything long enough. You can see something.
I haven't seen the ape and dog yet. Must have missed that, I will have to have another look.


Buckleboy, The Jesus Bullet is not for sale. But, if he turns up on one of my corn flakes.....

It's small but I'm actually being serious. I'll post a pic.

Carved bullets may be common for you,
but I have yet to find one. Nice find!

Why would you sell the cornflake and not the bullet? If it were a "dug" cornflake make of metal would you sell it? Trust me, a soldier would've likely been equally unattached to either one--only he certainly would've had better plans for the cornflake than whittling on it to pass the time.

I'm not seeing it... Wouldn't surprise me though... From what I understand Jesus was a man of high caliber.

I see Darth Vader.

Roadquest,
Any way you could point out the features you see with some arrows on the picture?
Nice find anyways.
Congrats,

Looks like "MARY" to me! If you look closely what you think is a beard is actually a veil draped across her face. It's pretty obvious, and you can clearly see her!

Yes I see the face. According to letters sent to Caesar from his men that were spying on Jesus, he was a big contrast to his fellow Jew. He stood out in a crowed cause he had reddish blond hair and blue eyes and was taller then most Jews. He also was light skinned. I too have some bullets with carvings but I do not know where I put them. I also have a small statue of Christ about half inch long in a capsule from the civil war. It would seem that the troops on both side were quite religious as are most men when facing death.

jimb, I know what I see, I glad that you can see it also.
The letters that were sent to Caesar from his men, that were spying on Jesus. If you have some copies
of this metarial, and want to put them on this thread. I'd be interested in seeing them.
i have read about him having reddish blond hair, blue eyes, and taller than the average Jew.

Jimb, When you have the time, see if you can find your carved Civil War Bullets, A lot of the times, when these
soldier carved a bullet, they did so with a purpose in mine. Most of the time they were keep as good luck "charmes"
I'm sure the Confederate soldiers in the site area I'm working. Had some down time. But, with the battle they
were involved in, I doubt they were board. Look your carved bullets over good, some of the shapes they carve would not be "G' rated.

I not sure where he went, But, I bet if you fired another one up. You could see him again.

Really Cool Find,

It reminds me of the image on the shroud.


jimb,
You said, "It would seem that the troops on both side were quite religious as are most men when facing death. "

I guess that's why we have the saying "there are no atheists in a foxhole".

There was a little poem found in an outpost in some remote part of the world,written by an unknown British Soldier:

God and the soldier all men adore,

In times of trouble and no more,

For when the trouble is over and all things righted,

God neglected and the soldier slighted.


If that ain't true I don't know what is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Roadquest...

Definitely a good find. I see what you're talking about. Whether it was on purpose or because
of how the corrosion formed, I don't know. Possibly clean it up and see if it's still there?

jimb--Maybe it would better to discuss this in another section, but I'm interested in reading these letters. Most (if not all) of these letters that I've come across on the net are hoaxes. Are there new ones out there?

T.

I may try cleaning it, I would really hate to do anything to change it.
When I got the hit, with my detector, I knew it was a bullet. Of course I had no idea anything would be carve on it.
When I brought it out of the dirt, and looked at it, the first thing that came to mind, was, that looks like the face of Jesus.

I know you are serious about the ape and dog, And I am serious when I say I am looking to see it.

I think your picture makes the face of Jesus clearer. At the top you can see the front of the thorn crown on his head.
The eyes are the larger carvings on the face. Look between the eyes, and you can see the nose. The mouth and beard is just below, Look to the left, and right side of the bullet and you will see the hair on his head.
