I found these two bullets close to location I found the button I have asked for help id'ing, in the button section. This is an area with a long history of activity(for Oklahoma anyway) early 1800's. Sorry I don't have calipers to measure so I included the tape measure. The rifling on the big bullet leads me to think its not that old, but appears to have been pulled. Any help appreciated.

Looks like a modern shotgun slug

After your ID I googled shotgun slugs I think your right looks like a federal or Remington brand. Thanks.
How long does it take to get the white patina on the round ball?

It takes a long time. I'd say the round ball is probably pretty old. It's hard to date. I go more by where it was found and the history of the site. Great find. I'd guess 100+ years from the patina
