✅ SOLVED stumped ... but possible 3 ringer?

[DiggerKep]

Found this in my yard and I know there were homes here built during the Civil War. I found an 1868 shield nickel the other day there so the age could be right. It rings up my pinpointer but isn't magnetic. I've never dug up anything like it. I've seen many moodern bullets and the bottom and top look right. ..Thanks in advance

The photos with a ruler indicate your bullet is a .32-caliber pistol bullet. The lower body-groove on it was made by the lip of the metallic casing it fit into. Sorry to have to say, it has the wrong shape of base-cavity to be a civil war era .32 metal-casing bullet. It dates from the late-1800s into the 1900s.

Thank you for that info. I knew there were some very knowledgeable people on here about these bullets. Still a fairly cool find but not quite the age I was hoping for. Thanks again
