HELP!

[OwenA]

I need some help with identifying these items!

-So the first item shown seems to be a really small bullet that I found still stuck in the wood it hit! It looks like a mini Civil War bullet. You can see the rings around it and everything. Any thoughts on what it could be and what kind of gun it was shot out of?

-The second object is what I believe to be another Buck N Ball. The one on the left is a buck n ball I found a few weeks ago. Both lead balls feel about the same weight. Can anyone confirm this to be a mini musket ball?

-The last one looks like a railroad spike. No railroads were around the area though. Any ideas on what else it could be?

The first item appears to be a 22 cal. projectile. The last item doesn't look much like a rr spike with it's round head.

.22LR, some buckshot and an alignment pin from a piece of farm machinery?

1/2" diameter is about as "mini" as any of the Minié projectiles were in the Civil War. Most were 0.58"

Looks like an old .32 round stuck in the tree.

Thanks guys! I knew it wasn't civil war. Found it in New Hampshire. But I think that's a mini buck n ball. And probably some farm equipment piece
