Dug this at 8-10 inch depth in Baltimore, its heavy it weights 26 grams, my first guess is that its a struck bullet, but not sure. Any info will help.

Just my 9th Grade ..(G.E.D.) opinion .

So 26 grams = A little over 401. Grains & being the Avg,.52 cal Spencer bullet is 435. ish Grains .
This would make it a Good sized Bullet; (The average .45 ACP is 230 Grains).

The bullet has the look of a fired Spencer but the bottom is to rounded & the Rifling is 'Pronounced'.

I'm thinking SG-Slug of some Kind , Tho I don't know the weight in Gr, of the Avg, 12 Ga Slug....I would assume it's more than 401. Grains .

As I said Just my Thoughts on this.

Good Luck in the future OP.
