I found these three projectiles while hunting my front yard today. I think the round ball was cast in a mold because of the small circular
spot protruding from one side. What I can't figure out is the two two-ringed bullets. One appears to be a "pulled" specimen, and both have circular depressions in them.
They look too small and new for Civil War, although many pistols of that period fired bullets of a similar size and shape. I'm not sure what caliber they are, but the dimensions--as close as I can tell--are 20 mm. long and 11 mm. in diameter. (About .44 or .45 caliber I think!) Any help much appreciated!
