Here is a “dug” three-groove minie ball with a slight extension from the cavity. This flaw is likely caused by the base plug not being properly seated in the mold.

This casting error has made for an interesting variation on the typical “three-ringer.”

Unfortunately the relic hunter who recovered this bullet really whacked it with his shovel leaving a significant gouge on the back side. Luckily, the opposite side remains very displayable. Tan patina overall.

Recovered near Fredericksburg, VA.  [jet] [ph:jet]
