Mothers Day Dig: Tiny 2ring lead bullet/pellet? Need ID

[DCMetal]

I just found this about an hour ago. I thought it was a pellet but just not sure. It's very small... a little bigger than Lincoln's head on a penny.

Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Might be from a 22.

I'm completely ignorant when it comes to bullets. If it's from a .22, does that mean it's from a modern weapon or old? This thing is so tiny I can't imagine anyone being too torn up by it.

I agree with botb. Looks like a 22cal. Don't let the size fool you, if placed in the right spot it will get the job done. It's also a very accurate round.
