Is this a civil war "Volcanic" bullet???

[history preserved]

So, I found this at a military site from 1850-1858. I'm almost positive this is a Volcanic .41 caliber bullet, but I'm not sure. Anyone know?

Yes, that bullet is definitely a civil war era Volcanic bullet for pistols... an unfired one, too. The largest caliber of Volcanic bullets, which is the version you found, is the rarest. Congrats.

Hunt that spot very diligently, like you were mopping the kitchen floor with a toothbrush... there should be more than just that one. Worth a pretty penny to civil war bullet collectors.

Thank you! Before I posted this on treasure net, I was about to throw it away because I thought it was a modern pistol bullet. Good thing I checked!

At a site like where that one was found, i will search it carefully, as CannonbalGuy recommended , THEN sift everything if I am able. DON"T be in a hurry !!
