There's a Draped Bust dime hiding under that crust isn't there! Curious to know what it is if you clean it, the Rev. musket balls are nice but it always throws me off when old lead lacks the yellow/white oxide/carbonate patina. Makes my eyeball-age-detector go a bit wonky!

Not cleaned - that is how lead comes out most of the time from salt water
they will sometimes have a dark grey or black powder on them but as soon as you touch them it comes right off

Nice finds Casper. Hope you went home and dried those off properly ! You sure wouldn't want that lead to shrivel !
