What type of bullets?

Found these 3 near a civil war site. I know it's probably not that old but I have no idea what caliber they are. Any ideas?

Look like modern .38 wadcutters for cutting clean holes in paper targets.

I believe your right. I didn't think they were too modern because they were already oxidizing. Thanks!

Modern like 1960's not 1860's

I googled 1800's bullets and went to images. There where a few pictures of a very simular bullet.

I would say it probably is a Wadcutter though. Wadcutters have been around since 1900 so they could be around 100 years old.

Do you have a measuremet on them to determine caliber?
