. Found this round piece of lead yesterday in an area where I have found other civil war bullets, buttons and other items commonly found in campsites. The diameter is roughly 19 to 21 mm depending on which angle you measure it or the diameter of a nickel. The thickness is 3/16 inch thick. I'm guessing it is lead because the patina is the off dirty white like an old bullet.Both sides have something stamped but even with a magnifying glass I cant make out the letters. On one side the best I can make out 3 letters is K(R?)AL. Also both sides have a a groove pressed in it that looks like maybe the edge of a checker or poker chip. The two pictures are of each side & I zoomed in as close as I could. All opinions or guess or coments are welcome. I,m curious to know if it could be an old rosette , poker chip from a bullet or a lead merchant's token
