✅ SOLVED found another bullet today

[jrwill56]

found another bullet today at the plantation this one is smaller than the other one has cast marks from a mold, is it old ,or modern?

1cm wide at base almost two cm high, weighs 1/2 oz. on my scale

Your bullet is a civil war era US .44 Colt "New-model" bullet, cast in one of Colt's bulletmolds, for use in the Colt .44 Army-model revolver.

thanks cannonball guy i don't know about civil war stuff , i worked with 18th century artifacts in the past, i think this may be a new hobby.

It looks like a new drop right out of a mold, and certainly never fired.

thecannonballguy is correct.

Correct me if I'm wrong here but it looks like there's no patina on it at all, I'd think it's a modern made reproduction bullet.

wife washed in my pants in the washing machine, did have patina.
