Good harvest from 1 yard

What are the 3 cylinder pieces? I found one and don't know how to identify it.

looks like more modern muzzle loader bullets, I use the same type in mine

I asked a guy who is pretty knowledgeable in guns and ammo because I wondered if it was a bullet. What I was told was they are. He said he would put them around late 1800's to early 1900's.

Cool, I was thinking it looked like a 3 ringer but i knew it was not. Thanks for the tip.
 
Butte Montana. Right?
That town has some of the oldest houses I've ever seen.

They are hand cast loads for a muzzle loader. No size comparison in the pic, but I am guessing 50 cal. I had a bullet mold for my .54 Hawkins that made rounds that looked similar.

:laughing: I am just a few miles away from there. Most of the houses on this block are late 1800's early 1900's and they were built for the wealthy during that time. Most of the houses are still being well taken care of. As far as the bullets, I don't know much about them. So I am taking the word of my friends dad. I could be wrong and I'm not going to disagree with anyone because I have no idea. They were all in the same hole at about 5" deep. And with the rest of the stuff I have found in that yard,I wasn't surprised with the guess of the year of the ammo. Still a cool find for whatever time period they are from.
