Pic of the bullet? or projectile?
I often find knowing the history of the area helps.
I.E around here the USA and Aussie army trained in 1940's for WW2. So if and when i find a mortar, projectile etc i do the military pics first..
I picked up a projectile out Warwick way that weighed about an ounce, Its massive !!!! It was mushroomed and i would hate to see what it hit...
You could throw it at someone and knock em out....
Theres some weird and wonderfull projectiles out there, thats for sure..

Projectiles sorry.

They are ancient and solid lead.
The top one weighs 15 grams and the bottom one 10 grams.
I found them at the base of a tree along with a dozen or more old 22 projectiles, looks like someone was having a target practice session.

Thats fired using a Bambooii Rodicus, a weapon favoured by Calimarious Italianii.
Species Calimarious Italianii are usually found around coastal areas, and pizza shops.
