To better assist the bullet nerds with a more accurate ID, can you get a nice close-up of one from the side, and from the bottom showing the base? Weight, length, diameter and base type will get you an accurate ID.

They look to me to be mid 1800s 3 ring .69 caliber lead bullets... having no idea of any CW history on Long Island, they may well have been fired for target or hunting(?). The value increases if dug in assossiation with battle sites. Almost no value if dropped "Uncle Ralph's back yard".

Good luck! And welcome to TreasureNet!

they to me look like standard 69 caliber 3 ring bullets --- rough time frame around the civil war era -- if the was a near by military base (target practice?) or battle site its worth more -- those apper to have been fired -- look for grooving / damage from impact -- no grooves / damage means it was dropped not shot.
