I have a hunting ground that the house was built in the 1700s..

Bullet sounds like a .32 (7.65mm) caliber. Could have been fired from several different popular handguns in the early to mid twentieth century.

The pic is so small I can't make out the bullet, but it's about .312 to .32 caliber. Without eyeballing it I can't say. Monty
