Another civil war bullet

[relichunters]

Never found one of these before, I've gotten lots of sharps and a couple colts out of this area. Any idea what this one is? It's smaller than a sharps, and it has two rings, and is very round at the top. Solid bottom.

Hmm I looked at burnsides and they seem to be fatter, and this head is very rounded.
The measurements are exactly 3/4 inch long by 1/2 inch wide.

RH, Dman and I found some of them before on a scouting expedition and were puzzled also. A local relic dealer told us they were post CW and from the 1880s and later on up to the 1920s. They looked like yours but without good measurements, I may be totally incorrect. . Very few CW bullets have rounded tops. Still a good find, HH.

Well that sucks!

Civil war or not... still a good find!!
Looks old to me, but I can't ID it either.
Good luck,'
