I heard that during the civil war they would melt lead to start fires...
That struck me as Funny.. don't you need to light the lead to melt it .. why not just save the lead and light the fire
Here is an lump of old lead I found I think it's old but could I be wrong I heard that during the civil war they would melt lead to start fires...
Lead was melted in pot's to make bullets during down time at camp fires.

Old lead turns white in the ground !
Yes it does and that lead is WHITE.. makes me think it has been there a longggg time
Lead was used for so many different things for so many years, there's no telling what that was used for. If only it had some kind of identifying marks or patterns, that would help to date it...
