Unknown object?

[CivilWarSaver]

I am the 13 year old kid that has been Metal Detecting at my grandparents house were a TN civil War battle was fought. I also have been posting at my new permission that has a 1798 house close to us. I was wondering what this bullet is?

Hard to tell from the picture but it may be a Confederate Enfield bullet. Need measurements with calipers and maybe better picture for positive ID, but it looks like you are on good ground and doing great.
Congratulations!

Looks right to me. Let's see what the experts have to say.
In the meantime, Google Enfield Civil War bullets and see if it looks right to you.

Looks too small to be an Enfield (.58 caliber) bullet.

Looks to be about .30/.32 caliber to me.

You guys may be right. Pictures are deceiving.
CWS, measure across the base

It's about two centimeters

To figure out the caliber of a bullet you will need to invest in a cheap set of calipers and measure the width of the bullet in inches.
