First of all, I don't know if this is a civil war projectile. But, after talking with @alan polk, there was a 3 pounder Mountain Howitzer at the battle of Jackson, MS in 1863. This piece was found in Jackson. If it is a projectile from such a gun, it is a solid shot bolt.
Can anyone help me in identifying this piece? Thanks for any insight.
