I think the 4 in the middle are post war but I want verification on that before they go in the not important box.

I looked in the bullet book and can't find any matches, and I'm no expert on civil war bullets outside the normal finds by any means. I found them all in the same day in the same site with both infantry and cavalry relics.

Your suspicion is correct, the four bullets in the middle are post-civil-war.

You didn't ask for ID of the two bullets which are from the civil war, but just in case you don't already know... if the one on the left has a solid base (as it seems to in the photo), it is a fired .52 Spencer (yankee) bullet.

Thanks for the confirmation I put the spencer and 3 ringer there for a size comparison and they were found in the same place.
