Object type certainty: Possibly
Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
Lead possible bullet fragment. Cast cylindrical object with a rounded point at one end, and sheared obliquely at the other. If this identification were to be sustained, it would suggest the use of a large calibre weapon. The metal retains a grey tint which may hint at a recent date. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1850-1900.
