Need help with this bullet

[relichunters]

Went on a hiking trail in the middle of nowhere. The land was purchased in the 1700's. I found this bullet out there, about 6 - 7 inches deep, lost signal while digging, thank goodness for a pinpointer. It's smaller than a .22 so I don't know what it is. It's got a pointy top and nearly flat bottom with a little curve inside. Any ideas?

Looks like a 22 short??
What do you mean by smaller than a 22?Length?

Maybe it's a short. The width is smaller than the other .22's I have. It's very skinny.

The only thing smaller than a .22 is a .17 and I am pretty sure they are all copper clad to prevent fouling. It just about has to be a member of the .22 rimfire family. Good call"Daddy". Monty
