Field finds--Barber and more

[Merf]

I hunted in three fields the last couple of days and found these.
Do any of the more knowledgeable members know about how old the musket balls and bullet might be. TIA and good hunting to all.

Great finds Merf. You have been doing well lately. I'm looking for my first barber of the year.

BTW - those wheat pennies could use a little amonia swab followed by an olive oil bath.

Might be a flat based burnside. Is it a bit smaller than your standard .58 mini ? Definately civil war era.

Yep Congrats on the finds, and yes like Mirage says, Amonia swab followed by an olive oil bath really works great on wheat pennies.
