Hi,
In the middle of an old dirt road I found melted lead and a formed lead piece of something? It was only down about an inch and the path is used by ATVs but it is a road on the 1850s map as a regular road. Any guesses as to the formed lead piece? Why would melted lead be in the middle of the road? I wondered if a stop was made in the winter to make bullets right there or if it might have fallen or been dumped by a supply wagon...but why and how would they be moving with hot metal? i also found a small white lead ball along the same path but several hundred feet from the melted lead. Any ideas?Thanks! I meant "formed lead" in title but how do I edit title?
