First 3 ring bullet!!! 58 cal?

I took my metal detector out to some land this morning and spent about an hour. I was mostly finding old scrap iron and was about to head to work when I was walking back through the woods to get to my car and got a loud midtone on my AT Pro.

It was super shallow so I just wiped away some pineneedles and there it was...my first 3 ring bullet! I don't know much about it, so if any of you can fill me in on any details I would greatly appreciate it. I'm just super excited to find something like this…especially since I'm brand-new to metal detecting and getting some experience with it. I know it's not worth a lot of money, but it's worth a lot to me . :thumbsup:

Oh, and it's bigger than the "gun" I found the other day! LOL

Hey ASE. Just a peice of advice if you want it. Keep every single thing you find on that property unless you are sure of what it is. I have had several objects that were found on a known camp site that I thought were junk only to find out later on t-net that they were not. You can learn so much from these guys it's scary. Welcome aboard!! Look forward to seeing more from your property. HH RN

Thanks for the link to that database! Yeah I found a bunch of scrap iron (or at least what I THINK is scrap) in the short time I was out there this morning. I haven't thrown anything away yet, so I'll keep hanging on to everything and hopefully I can get some info on it.

I think it is a modern muzzle loading rifle bullet, especially if it is the silver color it appears in the pics. The grooved shoulders look modern too.

That's what I was thinking too. Doesn't look like it has any age at all. All of mine have been white patina and the angled grooves look very modern.
