I have no earthly idea. It's pure lead. Maybe a Bullet?

It doesn't meet any of the criteria I've researched for civil war bullets, but I did come across an article that said soldiers used to use thimbles to mold lead bullets. This is the closest explanation I've come across, and it does kind of look like a thimble. Also looks like may have ricocheted off of something hard. Any ideas guys?

Pretty sure it's a wadcutter bullet similar to one of these....
