Need info on an old lead bullet I found today

I dug this up at a school this morning at 8-9 inches deep . Came up as a +74 on my MXT PRO . It weighs 13.53 grams and I posted a picture of it's size . Would like to know it's age , type , any info would be great !
Thanks

your diameter measurement leaves a lot to be desired, meaning it's not very accurate. Your photo shows approximately 7/16, which translates to .437. Because your picture shows
the bullet might be slightly larger than 7/16, my wild guess would be you found a .44 or .45 caliber bullet. From what I can see in the photos, it probably dates in the neighborhood
of 1880's, again, just a guess.
