I dug these items in a field near a popular CW battlefield in VA. I need help with the small bullet ID, a ring (possible age) and what I believe to be a barrel ring from a .58 cal shoulder arms musket. The bullet is next to a standard Three Ring for size comparison.

The small bullet is from a revolver. Monty

It is a Colt revolver bullet, probably .36 cal.

Matches 5/16" on the ruler so that makes it a .31 caliber bullet. Colt Police Model or similar revolver. Also appears to be rebated for a case, so it is possibly from a later cartridge weapon.
