I need some help with identifying these items!

-So the first item shown seems to be a really small bullet that I found still stuck in the wood it hit! It looks like a mini Civil War bullet. You can see the rings around it and everything. Any thoughts on what it could be and what kind of gun it was shot out of?

-The second object is what I believe to be another Buck N Ball. The one on the left is a buck n ball I found a few weeks ago. Both lead balls feel about the same weight. Can anyone confirm this to be a mini musket ball?

-The last one looks like a railroad spike. No railroads were around the area though. Any ideas on what else it could be?

Here's my 2 cents: modern .22 cal long, buck and ball, top part of a spike for grounding wire. HH, Dave.

Are there small ridges in the groove of the minie? And, can you give us an accurate measurement of it's diameter and length?

You all beat me to it on the .22 bullet, still a cool find though. Not sure on the hardware, but don't think its a ground rod as those are supposed to be copper (Or bronze by older electrical code).
