ponchy i agree with the shotgun slug and the next two are rifle bullets modern style the third one looks to be a full metal jacket military made as the heavy sealing crimp made with the case on the bullet and the last one seems to me to be a round ball of sorts not saying new but then again not saying old that is my best guesses. sorry i couldn't be more helpful . where did you find them in the woods or in someones yard ,feild .
but very nice finds for sure i have found a few of them myself but never a slug i had a very nice lead bullet that looked brand new i found in a neighbors yard and cleaned it and then couldn't find it untill the wife turned the disposal on then we both knew where it was at . lol.

keep hunting and finding the goods,

The photos below give you the definitive ID of the first object... a 20th-Century rifled shotgun slug.

I can't give you a specific ID for the other three bullets without knowing their diameter in hundredths-of-an-inch, because even as little as .02-inch can make a difference in a bullet's ID. You'll need to use a digital Caliper to get measurements which are that precise.

I'd say #'s 2-3 are .
38cal from a .357 or .38s&w
I cast some similar 158gr for my .357mag

Posted this a number of times but a good reference link on bullet sizes and types if you know the diameter
