Dime Trio and a Bullet Question

This is my 1st post in the 3030 forum as I just upgraded from the ET and have been loving the separation with the 3030. Hit a ballpark today and found a nice dime trio.

Also pulled my first half ever although it's just clad. Found a few bullets and these are the 1st bullets of this type I have come across. I don't know much about firearms and was wondering what type/era are these bullets?

What state did you find them in? They look like Confederate .54 or .58 bullets that hit something soft. If they hit something hard you may be mushroomed to the 1st or 2nd ring, and past all of them if it was a close in shot. I'm originally from Virginia, so I grew up around these old slugs and they were fairly common finds when my dad and i went out detecting. I'm 51 now and they are not as common a find as when I was a boy.

We detectorists are doing a good job cleaning up our environment be removing all that harmful lead from the soil! :rofl: Just a moment I need to barf........Never mind the fact that lead comes from the ground, and oil does too for that matter!! OK I'll jump down off the soapbox with my politically incorrect comments. (they just loooooooooove me here on the Left Coast)
