Bullet Identification??

(1/1)

3b2ginva:
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.

mgmradio:
It’s a modern shotgun slug. Not CW.

3b2ginva:
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?
