What is this?? Bullet??

[zjkm10]

I found this on a dig but not sure if it is a bullet or how old??

Yes you have dug a bullet.
If you have a good measure the members can narrow it down to caliber and possibly the era.

I need to get a caliper but this is what I have for now.

Calipers, and an accurate measurement would help, but guessing a .38 pistol bullet

I moved ya from HELP! over to WHAT IS IT? for more exposure.

NOTE: Forum HELP! contains guides tutorials on how to use the new TreasureNet.com software.

I agree, it is a pistol bullet. It could have been shot from a rifle, but typically not due to its weight.

I did get some caliper measurements and it my be a .41 caliber

Take several different measurement around the bullet and give us an average (of at least where you think it’s the most accurate). Bullet has been shot, so there’s been deformation, and it has oxidation/patina. I’m sticking with a .38
