Hi bullet experts! I was showing 4-H some of my finds from my detecting days in Memphis, TN (with a then-new White's Coinmaster D-5000! 
) and he noticed this bullet. When I found it, I had thought it was a simple Civil War one-ringer, and forgot about it. Years later (and a bit wiser), I realized it looks nothing like a regular one-ringer. It is hand poured judging by the large seam and appears to have been dropped rather than fired. I found round musket balls in the area as well. It weighs 13.0 grams on the nose. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
