Yo! Rebel here: Very NICE find... it is a UNION "bullet"... probably post-Civil War... Rebs bullets had 2 "rings"... I have one, and also a minnie ball... and a cannon ball (solid - to knock over stuff... in high school, i used it for a shot-put, when practicing, since I was on H. S. Track Team... u shoulda seen the people run!) Ha! Ha! Ha!
