I bagged and tagged this thinking it was somewhat recent, but after seeing some civil war era relics/bullets, I thought that maybe this could be pretty old. Any idea what might have fired this round? I dug up the stake somewhat close so it may be from the same era. Some of these images from these website seem to have similarities. https://metaldetectingforum.com/showthread.php?t=135284 and Metal Detecting Finds From Jeff Herke

First, welcome to the forums. It appears that your bullet is a modern FMJ (full metal jacket) one. Judging by your quarter size reference I would say it is a 45 caliber.

Agree. 1911 ACP .45 FMJ from WWI to present.
