I found these while detecting and was hoping someone would know what they are?

Measure them with a caliper, then you can guesstimate what they were fired from.

Thanks for the info I will check that. I was also wondering if they were from a modern firearm or not?

They look like semi-wad cutters and wad cutters (the top ones)
Bottom ones look like Buckshot

Yep, used to reload them all the time. Spent some time in a pistol competitions.

The one on the left (top of coin) appears to be an Elmer Keith design. Probably used in black powder firearms.
