Is it lead? Will a magnet stick to it? Is it perfect round or have a flat spot or any marks,indents ?

Looks like a pin ball.
 
Looks to me to be a .75 mm musket ball looks shinny tho all the ones I found were dull looking with green on them as they are usually lead covered with copper on the outside of them .

Heres what mine look like . Still guessing that is what yours is sure there are different kinds of them .Google up musket balls on line and you will probably find some . I had mine checked by a collector and seller of civil war stuff.
 
Did you find these items in the water or wet ground?
If they were found in a very wet location they may not be oxidized. I found a similar ball once in a river I detect and it was not oxidized at all.

Are they all the same size? The one in the background looks smaller.

Do they have a flat spot or striations anywhere (as if they were fired from a gun)?
