Unknown bullets, wheat penny, and clad. Third time out MD'ing.

Went out MD'ing today for my third time, and I have to say I'm hooked. First time out was in my backyard for practice, and I pulled up mostly a bunch of junk. My second time out, I went to the beach and did not have a fun time using the AT Pro in wet sand/surf, but it was good practice. Today, after spending the week doing some research, I found a pretty decent spot that had a lot of good hits. Most of my digs weren't garbage which is good. I think I'm starting to get a better grasp on the AT Pro, and I'm really loving it. Can't wait to get a pinpointer though-- I think I would have covered much more ground.

After four hours, here are some of my finds:

I'm really uncertain what calibers these are, but the smaller shell is a 9mm of some sort that has plastic coming out of it-- snake shot maybe? The others are military issue, but I have no idea what they are. Any ID's would be helpful.

The wheat penny is a 1936 S (though it looks like a B.. I can't tell) Since it's not valuable, I would like to clean it up. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

If anyone can help ID the bullets, I'd appreciate it.

This is just a guess on my part,with out any measurement.2nd from right 45auto.3rd from riiight 308 full metal jacket.
The one on the left looks to be a hunting round maybe 270 or 3006,if you can clean the base off it maybe stamped .

The one on the far right is a simunition...basically it is a pistol round that fires a small paintball. They hurt like a bugger too!

Thanks. Do you know any good ways to clean it? Also, do you think it's safe to keep. I imagine the primer is pretty damaged, and the powder probably isn't all that good. I still hear some in it though.
