Folks,

Please find attached a photo of an unknown lead object, found in southern Illinois.  About 3/4 inch in diameter x 7/8 inch long. Certainly looks like munitions, and may have some rifling traces around base, but seems pretty unstable in terms of overall shape:

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
