Bullet Patina...

[chukers]

I found a couple of bullets today... most fired bullets I find in my area do NOT have this white patina on them... my question is How long does it take for the white patina to start adhering to lead bullets?

Does anyone know if theses are civil war era bullets?

The one on the right is almost flat on the bottom the one on the left has a 1/8 of an inch indention in the bottom.

They are pretty small as you can tell from the dome in the picture.

any info would be helpful.

No I didn't, there's really no shape to them to measure.
