Hi Folks. Looking for some help IDing these and determining if they all came from the same period. There were revolutionary war battles within the same township (big ones)-- curious if these are related, but also know there were early pioneer settlers in the immediate vicinity as well.

I found three different types of ammo, all within the same field. The musketball has a flat area on one end (very heavy).

I see fired 22 or rounds and slightly mushed round ball , weight will help narrow down caliber , my guess is somewhere between 50 and 54 cal

you have a fired .69 cal round ball, which could be from the 1700's up to the Civil War, that's the best one. the three matching ones look like lead roofing nail caps, and the last one looks like a .22, which is 1857 or later.
