Bullet ID Request

[Cantstopdigging]

Hello Forum,

I dig a lot of different bullets, but I was wondering if anyone can help me to identify these two that I have in the picture. My guess is that they are old, and could be military. This is an area that I've found relics from the mid to late 1800's. The diameter of these are approximately 17mm.

Thanks for looking!

You have civil war , and maybe rev war , and modern shotgun slugs, one in hand look like pistol bullets

Thanks nsdq. They were found in upstate NY. I found an 1893 US Navy button near there too. So I am curious. It's near Lake Ontario so there could be some old ones.

Until a member pipes in - I pulled this from another TN thread...

Thanks VP. I’ve seen so many bullets, but none quite like these.
