Well 'Old' is probably a relative term when it comes to these things, but for where I live, they're probably classified as such...!
Any help with these is appreciated... TIA (I've also included some weights and dimensions for a few of them.)

An assortment of some of the Bullets found at this location.

This one is 24 mm long by 12 mm wide and weighs 17.2 grams (I found quite a few of these and there are still more there..)

These are 22 mm long by 7 mm wide and weigh 9.5 grams (Found only 1 of these for every 5 or 6 of the larger ones)

These two bullets look a lot newer to me...

The last two bullets may be the oldest! The others look like modern day lead cast bullets cast from very hard high antimony lead. The lead bullets are all screaming muzzleloaders but they are not the old 3 ring type Civil War bullets. I can't give you dates because they both could still be in production. They look like hard cast bullets they are probably all for a modern rifles such as a ,45-70 or larger. you would more than likely need a really good reference book to even look them up. Monty
