Man - I was smack in the middle of a civil war battlefield (A BIG one) and thought I was finding some kind of rare bullet concentrated in a small spot. Later find out that about 25 years ago, a blackpowder club used the area to target practice. Dang it! I want to say that KNOWN CW bullets were found scattered about this spot.

The Patina is right, but suspect these are repros. Any help from you experts?

First is a FLAT base with three tight rings. Appears to be about .50 cal. Regular 3-ringer for comparison.

The second batch are .58 cal with wide rings and hollow base. Regular 3-ringer in center for comparison.
