I was splitting some pine for kindling.
When I saw a gray spot. It was a bullet.
Found a second one in a nother piece. IMG_20230904_154915706.jpgIMG_20230904_172734548_HDR.jpg
 
Better to find hidden things with the splitter than the saw, but in this case I doubt the lead would do much harm to the chain. Not like a nail, screw or barb wire...

I was watching a video a few months ago. A guy was repurposing the wood from a old piano. When he made some cuts he found a old nail. Piano was close to 100 yeas old so the nail had to be really old.
 
Beats finding a ceramic and steel electrical fitting with your chainsaw! Finding bullets in wood is only cool if they're musket balls.
