Found this in a creek in Cincinnati Ohio, it's shaped like a muzzle loader round. It's white with red lines all over it, it's stone not led and at the top has little parallel lines that can only be from being worked. Thanks. First picture is straight down on the object, second is of the flat bottom, third is the round top and fourth are the lines from being worked

Are you sure it is stone. Lead oxidizes and turns white or chalkey looking. I may be telling you something you already know but it looks like lead CW era bullet. I can't imagine anyone working stone into a bullet. I didn't think Obama would get elected either. I also predicted the .40 S&W pistol cartridge would never catch on. My track record speaks for itself. :icon_scratch:

Hahaha TNGUNS those are both things I thought too, .45 is the round for me, Iv got a 1911 and a glock chambered in .45. And ya that's what I thought before I picked it up but it's a rock, I found it in a creek on a farm so maybe someone made it for fun

I guess it is just a rock, the shape is just so perfect and because of where I found it I thought it had to of been something
