I recently came back from a cross-country trip to seek medical help for my brain damage that I'm dying from. Unfortunately there is no help for hope but while in Mobile Alabama I did find this Civil War bullet just wondering if anyone knew anything more about it I love history.<br />

Most were .58 cal. and fired from a rifled musket. Yours appears to be unfired. Nice find!

IMO
It's worth $2-$5 Depending on the buyer or if you dug it up (worth more 'Sentimental Value')

Also IMO looks Dropped & Maybe a water Find ? Unless the White patina has been Scrubbed off.

I don't know nothing about the Mobile Areas Civil War History (except Spanish Fort)..150 years old Give or take a year or 2.

I Pray you get Better. & Try to keep a positive attitude.

Welcome to T-Net. There was some pretty big battles there and you have a nice piece of it. Probably fell out of a soldiers pouch maybe as he was reloading and firing his gun.
Here are some links to a little of what was going on there.

The Battle of Mobile Bay Summary & Facts | Civilwar.org


Fort Blakeley - Last battle of the Civil War

Hope that you are doing well and a prayer is sent your way.
