No idea what this is

Found this hunting in the woods. Its heavey and looks to be a silverish metal on the inside, though the outside is beigish. The other smaller white one appears to be a tip from a bullet It is very heavy for its size.

 

[Audiyohunter]

Or the tip of an arrow?

and then there is this, Heavy metal... again No idea.

Item one is a bullet. The lead has oxidized on the outside to give it the beige color. It is probably mid-19th C. One of the gun guys may be able to tell what kind it is if you can provide accurate measurments. The second item is what we call "camp lead". It is the spilled lead from the bullet making process. Item three is interesting. Do your pics show both sides?

Very informative, Thanks! i can post a photo of the other side later today, it blank and smooth but curved not flat on the other side

The blob appears to be just melted lead ........ the other is a pistol bullet. It appears to be totally intact and more than likely early. Very similar to many we find here in CW camps but so many variants one of our experts may chime in. The rings may indicate from a cartridge vs cap-and-ball, but again hard to say without measurements. The only way to ever get a really good ID is to measure the bullets and weigh if possible. Digital calipers are VERY inexpensive now days and a huge help in bullet, button, and even coin ID's (toasted copper with little detail as an example). The iron or steel looking object not sure.

Item 3: Possibly a vintage auto body repair dolly?

As mentioned above we need precise measurements to correctly id you bullet. It could be anywhere from .32 cal up to .44 cal depending on the size of your fingers. It looks unfired to me, in that I don't see any rifling marks in the photo, and it doesn't seem deformed at all, and from the patina I would say pre 1900. My knowledge is more toward modern post 1900 ammo, but there are some people here who may be able to look at it and know exactly what it is. Maybe CannonballGuy will see this thread.

[Audiyohunter]

That iron thing looks like a ladle with the handle broken off. Did they make lead ladles that small??

 

[NOLA_Ken]

The bullet looks to be around 7/16ths which is pretty close to .44 cal. I'll try and find you a match.

Probably cast out of an 1860 Colt bullet mold in .44 caliber.
Note, the mold casts a round ball and a bullet like the one you found.

wow, thats pretty cool thanks for the info!
