Is it a bullet?

[babybear]

These all came from my yard. I'm wondering if the round one is a musket ball, and if the one on the lower left is a bullet or something else? They are both fairly heavy for their size and a magnet won't stick to either one. My property dates to 1850 if that helps. I appreciate any help you all can give. Thanks.

The lead ball has the look of a genuine musketball from the civil war or earlier. The other large-caliber bullet is definitely a mid-20th-Century-&-later "Maxi-ball" for blackpowder hunters and target shooters. Still for sale today. See photo below.
