Civil war?

[kimonswanson643]

I found these objects all at civil war areas. The small bullet has 1 ring and is pretty smashed but might be a pistol bullet but I don't. If you know what it is and if it is civil war please tell me. The taller bullet with 3 rings someone told me is a civil war bullet but I don't know any thing about it so if you know any help would be appreciated if it is civil war please tell me. The round balls are really small so they might be buck balls but one seems to be smashed on the back but there is a line that looks to be carved on maybe to be a sinker because I found all these on a river bank so that might be the reason they are not white. If you know what theses objects are please tell me and there age. The other objects I am not sure but they are lead. The ring like object I found at a different spot but it is lead and I have no idea what it could be. The iron ball I don't know what it is any ideas. If you know what any of these objects are then please tell me name an age would be appreciated.

the one longer one with multiple rings appears to be a later time frame 45 -70 type black powder rifle round -- they did use buck shot during the civil war with a larger 69 cal. round ball as a "mixed load" --the large ball had 3 buckshot pellets on top-- they were used in the smoothbore type (non rifled) type 69 caliber muskets --to increase the chances of a hit when they faced --charging enemy soldiers --the load was refered to as "buck and ball" --the last one might be iron "grapeshot" from a cannon.. black powder civil war bullets tend to be larger caliber 69 and 58 caliber for the more "standard" rifles used and pistols tend to be 32 . 36 and 44 caliber in both round ball and pointed types -- shotguns and hunting rifles were often used by the south -- with sawed off shotguns very popular with horseback troops for when they got into close action with massed infantry --the foot soldiers would try to mob attack them and yank the down from their horse's -- they used the sawed off shotguns to stop them from doing so..

The flattened thing in the third from the bottom picture looks like a flattened toothpaste tube.
