    Help!

    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?

    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).
    Equipment:
    Minelab: CTX 3030, GPX 4800, X-Terra 705. Whites TDI SL.

    2024: Silver 1, Gold 0
    Best finds: 28 silver dime spill, 1800s Dutch customs seal.
    Oldest/best coins: Late 1700's Chinese Cash Coin, 1837 Upper Canada large cent, 1877 Seated Dime
    Oldest Relic find: 1800 Sailors Luck token
