Does anyone know what type of bullet it is?

[Conito@55]

I found this pile of bullets in the same area. Are they old?

The spoon has this mark. It is possibly silver. Can someone help me with this?

Fired 3 ring Minnie balls from the civil war. You do have one bullet (bottom center) that may be a 2-ringer, but it looks smaller than the rest, possible .54 caliber. Where (general) were these dug?

To my understanding, Wm Rogers is silver plated unless marked as "sterling".

One additional note… there doesn’t appear to be much patina on these bullets. Someone else may want to weigh in on that

Yes, it's their 'Regent' pattern from 1939.

rifling cannula marks so post civil war .

 

[fyrffytr1]

They had rifled muskets as well as rifled carbines during the Civil War. What I don't see are any tiny ridges or reeding in the cannelures which would date them pre circa 1872.

Maybe because they hit something, maybe that's why they look like that

 

[Almy]

The bullets appear to be large (possibly .58) which were used mid-1800s all around North America. They also have been used by handloaders up until this day.
