It's been about 30 years since I found one of these!

I never have hunted a Civil War site and finding something that old is few and far between for me. I got lucky today and found a dropped CW bullet. I found two wheats (1944 & 45) close by there, a 12 ga shot gun shell, a key and a bottle of perfume, lol... I was hunting in a small community that was there in the 1840's. If anyone could tell me about that CW bullet I sure would appreciate it. The back of it is cone shaped inside with no markings. Thanks a bunch.

Looks like your typical .58 cal union bullet. They are getting harder and harder to find.

Thanks you all. That one find made the whole trip worth it. Now, if I could just get the local detectorists to give up the location of one of the local skirmish sites maybe I could get another 3 ringer before another 30 years goes by, lol... You all have a good one.
