New member and new find

[Little buddy]

First off let me say hello and merry Christmas to you all. Also would like to share my new find and would welcome any info you guys may have on identifying it. I found it in my front yard in upstate ny. Thanks from the new guy.

That would be amazing but is that possible in ny?

CW era is possible....

Perhaps, I should have said civil war ​era. I think you’ve got an old bullet. It’s a keeper.

It looks like a quarter to me it's worth 25 cents

Welcome LB. I would agree...Civil War era bullet. I have found several out here in Mass. Keep the posts coming.

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard Little Buddy! Take a look at Forum: New York for information (i.e., clubs, etc.) directly related to your state.

2nd - - I pulled this from another TN thread...

Civil War Bullet ID Chart (Sep 05, 2013)

3rd - I moved ya from TODAY'S FINDS! over to WHAT IS IT? for more exposure.

Looks like an Enfield to me. Is there anything in the base? Can you post a clear picture looking into the base? Also, accurate measurements would help get it correctly identified.

Welcome Little Buddy nice find!

You've had your first immersion into TNet culture. The praise, the help, the advise and just a bit of good natured sarcasm! It's all good all the time. Would like to see some better pics and measurements.

Best wishes!

Welcome to Tnet from Mississippi.

Welcome Little Buddy.

How about getting us a diameter on that bullet. Hint: CW bullets like that should be .58 caliber (.58").

Congrats.
