So the bullet with no rings is an Enfield bullet. The second bullet is a ring tail Sharps and darn near appears to be a Selma-Lab Sharps from the Selma, Alabama lab.

Both are great CS bullets. Is there any markings in the base of the Enfield bullet?

Good saves,

John
 

Thank you for your response! So far here are all of the bullets I have found from the same place!
Is it normal to find all different types of bullets in one place?

Nice!!! Congrats!!!
 

Lots of different brands of guns that took different slugs was a big problem in the Civil War, especially early in the war. Gary
