Default what does a bullet picks up as

I have a Prizm III. I'm going to a possible Civil War Skirmish site. I don't know what a bullet shows up as and have not been able to find on the forums.

Thanks,

Rob

Hey Rob,
I know nothing about your machine but a Civil War bullet is made of lead.

Hoping You Have Good Luck, HH, Roger

Default whites and CW bullet

all of the bullets i have found with my prism have been on the pull tab target. that includes everything from the common three ringer to the rare multi groove sharpes. Buttons and button backs come in at zinc and copper penny, haversack buttons come in as pull tabs. so everything in the pull tab up to copper penny range. hope this helps.....HH....Bill
