We were once putting a big piece of English oak through our big thicknesser when it came yo a sudden and very surprising stop the way only a machine with a 1/4 ton flywheel can. We took the beam out to find that there was a bullet in it. It was grown over so must have been shot a long while ago.
A turner friend in Norfolk once bought a Yew tree that, by local legend, had been strafed by a German fighter plane in WWII. It was FULL of bullets. He made a fortune selling the pieces, with the bullets carefully removed and then replaces. Most to US tourists visiting US air bases from WWII
