Hello all....

Found my first civil war relics today and I am thrilled to say the least. The bullets look a little strange to me as they all have holes in them and two of them are cut in half?!? Not sure what the flat button like item is.
Would appreciate any and all input please. :)

The one with hole in center is a pulled or wormed bullet. More than likely the powder got wet and the soldier pulled the bullet from the barrel. The two cut in half could have been from a bored soldier.

Yep , a wormed bullet and two carved bullets are a great day in my books. Congrats on the nice saves there. Can you post a pic of the back of the fourth item please?
