Civil war Artifact?? found by my little girl.

[EC.Mason]

Ok, I took my six year old little girl detecting today. She has a junior bounty hunter metal detector, and I use a AT pro. I took her to a rock house where I had found a 1783 Spanish coin along with other coins from the 1930s and 1940s. We were there for about 10 minutes when she found this(pictures below). It is iron and looks like some type of shot. There was Civil War activity in the area but not sure what exactly it is. I hope it is Civil War for her. Funny thing is, I have detected this rockhouse several times but always discriminated iron! She really showed me. Any ideas? (please look over my dirty fingernails; just got home)

it could be a dropped bit from a cannon's ammo supply cart as it was retreating -- or if there was a "training" / recruitment camp area nearby it might have had cannons there might have been "dropped" rather than fired
