Vicksburg Oddity
« on: December 22, 2012, 05:57:45 PM »
I found this interesting concretion at Vicksburg last weekend on private property.
It is a .69 cal bullet concreted to a square nail, a .22 cal bullet and a small piece of lead. Freak of nature or could be a form of experimental ammunition. I'll let the experts decide!

Pretty wild & cool piece John, I'll bet that gave off an odd reading on your detector!

Having done a bit of hunting in that area I'd say it looks to me like one of those finds found in the wash area at the bottom of a gully.  There is an incredible amount of trash in Vicksburg and it can really collect in those ravine bottoms.  Pretty neat to have it all concreted together.  Thanks for sharing.
