✅ SOLVED Help. What Are These?

[broph]

I just started metal detecting around my property and I am finding all of these bullets but I do not know what they are. I know that the Battle of Franklin happened all around my house. I am only two miles from the Carter House in Franklin, TN.

It's always wise to get unidentified objects checked here at the What-Is-It? forum. But in this case, almost all of the bullets in your photo are modern-era "Semi-Wadcutter" bullets, made specifically for target-shooting. There are no civil war era bullets in the photo... except perhaps the largest one, second from the right in the photo. But in that photo it looks too smashed for us to identify it. Please post a couple of photos showing its other sides, which are not visible in the present photo.

I have to agree with The Cannon Ball Guy and D2 they are semi wad cutters for items 1-5.. 6,7,8 and 9 would need more detailed pictures.. but given where they were found with the others makes it more likely as something modern. I would weigh number 8... might have one historic item.. thanks for sharing your finds..
