Bullet Identification??

Hello. I dug this bullet today from a Civil War site in Virginia. It was about a foot deep and has a nice white patina. Looks like some type of shotgun slug. It is about a .69 caliber Can anyone help identify? Is it Civil War? Thank you.

It’s a modern shotgun slug. Not CW.

Thank you for the input. Base and patina seem different than modern day shotgun slugs. Maybe a much older one? Other than the nessler slugs, what type were used in Civil War/mid-late 1800s shotguns?
