Default Field hunt--A Barber and more

I hunted in three fields the last couple of days and found these. Do any of the more knowledgeable members know about how old the musket balls and bullet might be. TIA and good hunting to all.

Merf,
Appears that the lead is CW period! The three ring looks like a Merril Carbine but hard to tell from that angle. Post that pic over at the sister site Civil War Quest and we can get some more opinions!
