Been hoping to find one of these for a while. I found my buttons first somehow and finally came up with a bullet.

That's actually referred to as a Minie ball, an Enfield to be more specific.

Sweet find!
 
Nice find, I have never found one so I am a little jealouse. HH
 
Sorry for the wrong bullet specification... I was just excited to finally find one.... There's lots of good places where I'm from its just might near impossible to get permission. I did actually find half a musket ball a few days back. I'm gonna put a pic of it up and tell me if I'm right about it...

Actually (not trying to sound like a know it all,) but that looks like a fired pistol ball that was flattened when it hit something.
 
I was just guessing I always like to hear from anyone who has an opinion it's a learning experience when I find something new. I appreciate everyone's shared knowledge. Thx
