Photos are not as clear and crisp as they could be. The round balls very well could be shotgun pellets, then again they could be split shot stinkers, a good possibility if found at the river. Examine them closely for a seam that may be crimped shut.

In the last photo the piece in the bottom center, a photo of the opposite end would help. From this view it also looks like it could be just the copper jacket from the outer portion of a bullet. Sometimes if a bullet is not constructed well the lead center core and the copper jacket will separate from each other upon impact. Hope you come upon some rings or other cool items at a swimming hole along that river. Gl &hh
