Probably from that era, if not the war itself. The two round balls, it is impossible to tell.

My first thought is yes, given that all were found in the same area, and all look like known specimens, I'd lean towards yes. Having said that, I'm no CW bullet expert.

2nd from the left seems to be a Hanoverian 1 groove. Nice find.

Yep, Civil War

That's a .69 caliber Minie Ball, and a nice one at that. A dropped one perhaps. And the Hanoverian ID is right on, too. I think they're all probably CW
