Civil War Bullets???

[foreverRich]

Need some of you who are familiar with Civil War bullets to help identify these bullets. They came from earth works in Suffolk, VA. They measure .625 dia. to .59375 dia. These are the only bullets I have found that look different than the majority of other bullets I have found. They are darker and every one has been fired (no drops). They are all three ring and the groves are wider than most. About 1/16" wide by 1/32" deep. Any help will certainly be appreciated.

They appear to be modern. Probably fired by re-enactors or members of the NSSA. The bases appear to be of modern design, maybe cast in a Lee mold.

Cant say for sure if they were found in earthworks how deep in the works? They do appear to recast bullets, from modern day

Have you determined whose trench line this was? Fed, Confed? And the ground itself. Is this a low area or lots of clay?

In the second photo, bottom right bullet. That one appears to be either a Charleston Arsenal minie or a Williams pistol "ball" and to its left a "Georgia troops" minie. Same for minie number two in second photo, Georgia troops.

If you have a minute, could you roll the last minie over and take another shot of the rings and, if possible, of the cavity?
