Just hunted the site of an early TX fort from 1840s. Found what looked to me to be a percussion cap. I've hunted civil war caps before and this one is not the same.

Anyone familiar with pre civil war percussion caps?

I think it would be necessary to have a picture with something for size reference.

It's a Copper Jacket from a modern bullet that has peeled off the lead core.
