Police were given the bullet by a farmer from Bishops Lydeard.
A spokesman said: "The farmer visited a market out of our force area and bought a bag of various metal objects.
"He discovered the bullet and rightly called the police.
"We inspected the item and brought it back to the station.
"It may be a Second World War bullet but we aren't yet 100 per cent sure.
"We are waiting to see what we should do with the discovery."
