My first C.W. bullet?

As I mentioned, I hunted an old C.W. site in Raleigh. I found what I think is a spent CW bullet and another bullet I cannot identify. I included a CW bullet someone gave me (left), the one I found that I think is a minie ball, and an unknown bullet. The authentic CW bullet and the one I found both weigh between 32 and 39 g. Anyone know what the small bullet (5 g) is and if the middle one is a spent bullet?

Homebre I've always used calipers on projectiles for size so I'm not familiar with weights? Is one side of the possible bullet you found sheered off or is it round and complete? If it is complete then it looks like it may have been dropped in some molten camp lead way back in the day? Given no size reference...just guessing probably .58 caliber with the unknown bullet being around .25 or .22 caliber earlier 1900's?
 
Awsome find , looks like the real thing to me
 
Its white color tells me that it's old lead. I'm not too familiar with Civil War stuff, but it looks good to me. Nice going.:cheers:
