I used to yeah a wood working unit to 7th graders, age 12-13. One girl came to me disappointed her wood had shiny metallic spot in it. Got her a new piece to work with.

Then we split that piece to find a .22 lead bullet. I was amazed how few of the students had ever seen a bullet.

I've cut a few trees and found bullets before. The bullet never remained intact. It always fragmented into lots of tiny pieces on impact.
