Is this an old bullet?

[BrettCo124]

Hi all,

I’m no good with identification of items just yet. Can anyone help me with this bullet? Found on land dating back to 1700s. Would love to know if this was a civil war bullet.

Thanks everyone.

Not terribly old. It is a semi-jacketed bullet. Likely from a pistol.

1900 to present.

I agree with Charlie's assessment, jacketed lead-core bullet from a pistol cartridge. Call it early 1900's through the present.

Thanks so much to both of you! That green patina always gets me lol.
