Maybe my first S.C. Civil War Relic?!?!?

[SouthCarolinaTeacher]

Went to a downtown residential park today.

Found 3.45 in clad: 40 Pennies, 4 Nickels, 6 Dimes, 5 Quarters and 1 Sac. dollar.

Also got 4 Wheats and this Bullet!!!

I can't be for certain, but it looks to be C.W. era. I've checked a few sources and can't find it anywhere. Looks to have rings with a solid base.

Anyone with some help?!

it could be post or it could be pre CW...hard to label an isolated find as that exact period. Is the base hollow or filled?

It's a solid filled base.

Hey Moon, Sure wasn't although I'd like to get down that way sometime. Why? Did ya happen to see someone?



As for the bullet, I'm going to keep researching it. If I find any information on it, I'll update!
