Civil War Bullet

[64mercury]

Just dug this 2 ringer on my property. The rings have ridges inside of the groove. Having difficulty with the ID if anyone has more knowledge.
Thanks.

That is a post civil war bullet, it is not a "two ringer". Any time you see the little ridges in the grooves it indicates a later slug. Civil war minie balls always have a hollow base and no little ridges in the grooves.

Still old though. Great find!
