Sunday 7/3 hunt - plus need help w/bullet ID

Went to my park Sunday and had to try to stay under the trees part of the time to avoid the light rain. I was happy to pop out another seated dime and a few more IHs. I found a bullet that I'm not familiar with. It's got a very sharp nose and it's solid. I took a few shots of it next to a penny for scale. Any positive ID help would be appreciated.
My finds:
seated dime 1857
4 IHs: 1864, 1883, 1904, 1907
5 wheats incl: 1909, 1916, 1919
1 shield nickel? Really toasted - I'll have to clean for ID

Thanks for sharing.

Excellent finds - especially the seated dime. I have no idea about the bullet-looks like it may be from a smaller gun from the Civil War era. I hope you get it id'd. HH
 
Great finds! Can't really tell the caliber of the bullet, but definitely Civil War era. If .44 cal or smaller - then a pistol bullet more than likely. If .50 cal or larger then I would have to say a Carbine bullet.
