This bullet was my only interesting find yesterday during a hour and a half hunt at a former home site turned farm field that I’ve worked over pretty hard here in NW Ohio. I have very limited knowledge on ammunition, but I’m guessing it’s fairly modern. I suppose it’s possible it might be a little older, maybe 1890s to early 1900s. I was just curious to see if anyone more knowledgeable than me might have a better idea of date or ID for it.
It seems to be .45 caliber, measuring the base with calipers. Height is 0.756” from base to flattened top. The base is perfectly flat as well, so I’m guessing it’s a cartridge slug. Weight is 18.45g. I’m hoping the reeding throughout the grooves might be a distinctive clue.
The home site was active between the middle 1800s to the 1960s.
Thanks for any ideas!
