Possible civil war relics

[neodetectorist]

I found what appears to be a .69 Cal musket ball, (possibly fired) A fired .58 cal (possibly a Williams Or Minnie), and a bridal rosette.
All found metal detecting within a 20 ft radius of each other.
Any thoughts?
Civil War era?

Looks like a rosette to me, and possibly a bullet, but the ball isn't a roundball.

Thanks Creskol, I figured the sprue mark was the giveaway for this being a roundball. What do you suppose this is? It is a .69 cal sized something.

Can you post a photo looking at it head on? Thanks

It could be a round ball, but the "sprue" looks sorta hollow and too perfect, which is why I said I didn't think it was one. The ones I am familiar with have are slightly tapered at the bass of the sprue and the sprue itself is a bit different. Here are the ones I am more familiar with.

Thank you
Here is a shot of the Sprue.

I agree with the opinions of all who posted , & that Round Ball & it's 'Spur' are really strange , maybe it's a modern cast ball ?
