What's the caliber? Where did you find it (what does the site date back to)?

No caliber or markings... It's lead and definitely not machined... Site goes waaaay back but I'm thinking it's 19th century

Looks like a fired confederate enfield bullet to me. Great find!

To be any help with bullets we need a precise measurement, preferably with digital calipers. There are so many different types that it can be impossible to identify them without knowing the size. and as little as a thousandth of an inch can make a difference.

Ditto, width as close as possible. Width is the most important, that's the caliber in 100's of an inch. Measure at the widest point but not where it's been damaged and flattened.
