Found these near a small creak, I dont even know if the last one is a bullet :tard:
Anyone know of the age or make of these bad boys?

yes the last one is a mini ball, the 3rd from last looks like a yankee pistol shot and the other two look like 3 ringers.
How many rings can you count on the bottom of the bullets?

Minnie balls are not spherical, if a bullet, that one is simply a "round ball".

The other 3 appear to be from metallic cartridge weapons (post Civil War), not muzzle loaders.

If you clean the dirt off a little more,where the grooves are on the bottom, and there are ridges in the grooves chances are they are not CW related but if there are no ridges in the groove it could be. The one in the middle reminds me of a .54 MS. bullet but I can tell if there are any in ridges in the grooves...d2
