Said before I would post a better picture of my bullets, 1st picture I am fairly sure are CW era, 2nd pic is suspect / modern and possibly camp lead.

Thanks for posting these! The first two are .69 cal "Prussian" bullets. The third is also .69 cal, looks like typical three ring, and the forth looks to be .58 or .577 cal three ring. Again hard to be more accurate with the last two without measurements.
The bottom row looks to me like two .54 cal Smith Carbines and a couple small caliber buck or pistol balls.

I am rather curious about the bullet to the right of the brass casing, in second pic! I hate to aske but could you take a couple of snaps of that bullet by itself? It sorta looks carved to me! I am still unsure about the two on the bottom of that pic.
