Did I find my first Civil War bullet?

[ndhill1976]

I have been detecting for a couple of years now, and just started hunting my first possible CW site. I found some melted lead earlier this week and found this today.
Can someone tell me if I have definitely found a CW bullet? I have seen other peoples posts where they have found them, but I mostly recall 3 ringers with a hollow base. This one has 2 rings and a solid base. I hope I haven't found a modern muzzleloader bullet.

I apologize for the pics, they are from my cell phone and aren't that clear close up.

It measures about 7/16", so that would be about a .44 cal. Would that be a pistol bullet?

No expert, but it's appearance and rough dimensions could make it a .44 for the Adams revolver. If so, it's length should be .680 (according to CWPII).

Yep. It's an Adams. It is civil war and a harder bullet to dig.
