I believe its three-groove .54-caliber Minié ball
dug out in woods Holly Springs NC
Flat on one side so must have hit a tree while target practicing or hunting dinner

Nice find - congrats !
 
Takes some pics of the other side. Assuming that’s lead at the bottom?

If lead, and there are no rifling marks, that was either a poorly poured field made bullet, or soldier messing around the fire. Either way, spend more time there. Someone did ~165 yrs ago
