Need help to identify the bullet dug in Lovejoy, Ga. 4-5" deep. Size ..... Length .955 +- .003 - Diameter .577. Don't know weight.

Photo of Flattened lead found this past weekend in Stockbridge, Ga. Just by feel, it's weight is of the Enfield bullet. Opinions ??

Thanks y'all .......... Happy Hunting!

First one looks like a fired Enfield, could be either Confederate or Union. Second looks like a melted minie.
 

Yeah, I'm with Joe, I believe the bullet with no visible rings is an Enfield Bullet and the second bullet looks possibly to be camp lead.
