Mini balls? Help identifying?

[makahaman]

What kind of bullets are these? Musket balls?

Hi guys, I am a water hunter and found these lead balls while detecting a beach. The beach has been used since the 1700's because I've been finding a lot of old artifacts, I know this used to be an old village there because when they developed the resort they found bodies while doing construction. Are these mini balls? Just curious because they don't look like fishing leads because no hole etc.. Can someone help identify these for me? Thanks and I hope I get a positive response... Aloha

Those look like musketballs to me....depends on diameter... .69 diameter definitely a musketball. .44 diameter or less probably a pistol ball. The one on top looks like it has a raised "belt" around it. I think those fit in a rifled musket, predecessor to minie ball. You can see some minie balls here...Civil War Bullets and Cartridges Dug and Non-Dug.
