✅ SOLVED Can you identify these bullets/ bullet & pellet?

[OMGitsSleek]

I would like someone to help me identify these bullets/ maybe the smaller pellet either by positively identifying them or guiding me to a source where I could possibly research them myself. I am a beginner when it comes to identifying artifacts that I find from metal detecting that do not have any distinguishable markings, words, or letterings.
The first bullet that is a shiny silver with rust spots has a Length - Height of 11/16" or 17.4625 mm and a Width - Diameter of 5/16" or 7.9375 mm.
It also has vertical rectangle indentations and two unique band indentations around it.
The smaller,older looking pellet has a Length - Height of 4.5/16" or 7.14375 mm and a Width - Diameter of 3.2/16" or 5.08 mm.
It has two indentations. A lower line that is perfectly straight and extends around the diameter and one that is above it that resembles the indentations of the other bullet. Of course they are much more precise and smaller.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I can tell you that they are modern and the only value they have is their weight in scrap metal. What else do you need to know? (and why?)

I just wanted to know the years of the bullets, and what kind of gun they might be used with. I don't care about their worth haha... I just want a story

without measurements, it hard to say for sure, but the jacketed one looks to possibly be a .38 cal., and the small one is a .22 cal.

 

[OMGitsSleek]

I have the measurements, do I need them more exact?
Thanks for the response.

It would be more useful to measure the bullet diameter in 1000's of an inch.

Smaller one is a .22, the larger one is most likely a .32. .32 was first made in 1899, it was designed by John Browning and originally made by FN in Belgium, it would have been introduced to America shortly after 1900 as I remember. It's still in production today, but yours shows some patina so I would guess it's got a bit of age. The .22 you have looks to be a .22 short, that caliber was introduced in 1857 and is still in production today as well. I can't tell from the pic, but if there are lines in the groove, like the edge of a dime it will date your bullet from 1880 to now.

I don't know about those bullets but that dime in the picture is worth more than .10c, as it is an error dime, off center strike.

 

[OMGitsSleek]

Just curious, how much would the dime go for haha. Didn't realize anything until you said something, good eye Slingshot.

Post a pic down in the coin section and I'm sure one of the experts can give a good estimate of it's value.
