Can anyone I.D. this dug shell based on pic

Based on size compared to pallet, what is this US round and era? Was found this week here in area after the tornados

Hello Mark!
I would be careful, looks like it’s still armed. It might be civil war comparing fuse top with what was found recently in Charleston (looks like it’s unscrewed/opened compared to yours). Had a further look around and found several references to the Parrott rifle. Would be interesting to know more about size/diameter etc.
