All found in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada — Rosedale Area/Lower East End

First - I think it’s a very old rifle bullet casing.. not magnetic.. very heavy.. weighing a whopping 1 pound, 5 ounces.. May have an engraving but it’s hard to make out, can almost see the letters “CPN” but I’m not positive.
Height: 5.5 CM

Second - Weighs 12 Grams

Third - Weighs 10 Grams

Fourth - Possible Arrow Tip.. Early-Mid 1900’s? Weighs 3 Grams (Wood still inside).

# 1 is a Victor GPN torch nozzle that's full of dirt making it so heavy. View attachment 2164054 then you have 2 modern bullets and a modern arrow tip. wood is still showing so not as old as you think.

I believe you are correct sir, thank you very much!🙏🏻 the nozzle has been cleaned though and isn't full of dirt, still that heavy Lol. But I still think you’re right.

And yeah, I wasn’t sure about the bullets, I thought maybe the third to the right (more silver in colour) could have been a little older… I guess not though, and someone had told me they had a similar arrow set from the early-mid 1900’s that’s why I assumed but makes sense .. it was infact very incased with dirt and I kinda pulled the wood out, perhaps being inside preserved it a little longer? Idk regardless thank you for your time and knowledge! If you happen to know what kind of bullets they are I’d love to know thanks again!

The bullets are short and stout like pistol bullets. The one on the left is odd with its two diameters and hollow base. Measuring their diameter in decimal inches with a caliper would tell a lot.

I don’t currently own a calliper but I’ll be sure to get one asap, measuring to the best of my ability, the larger bullet is 1.1 cm = 0.433071 in.
and the one more silver in colour is 0.8 cm = 0.314961 in.
