Just looks like a blob; but small for a Minniè or rifle bullet. Does it have a hollow base?

Could be a sprue from a cast bullet or sinker mold.

If it is solid (and it looks solid from the picture), I agree with Charlie P. Not an Enfield.

Like last time lol.

What caliber do you think it was or is ?

IMO... If in the .54-.57 area & you can be 95% certain there was a cavity on the bottom, it may be a fired Enfield with the cavity flattened or folded in o it's self.

GL.

Oh so you Hunt near Tupelo ? LOL
