Bullet ID

[Metal Magnet]

I posted this in the What Is It forum, but thought I would also post here for more coverage.

I am not a relic/bullet guy. I was hunting a park that has old old history today. I have found an 1845 large cent and numerous other old coins and rings there.

I was hunting near the front today and got a 1950s wheat. I also noticed lots of porcelain and old glass. My next hit was this bullet.

I've never seen anything like it around my area. It is heavy. It is an inch long and just over a half inch in diameter. Any ideas as to age, etc. I can't get the weight right now, but can later on.

Is your bullet solid based? It looks similar to a Spencer. Tennessee digger

Looks like it may be a.52 caliber Confacture made they have a solid base. It's hard to say but nice lead.
Someone on here will help out .

Cannonball guy had this to say: http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/319289-bullet-id.html

I weighed it and it came in at 31 grams. And yes, it is solid based. thanks so much for the comments!
