Found all these this evening. They appeared dropped except for the one spent smaller one. Can't figure it out, was in the same proximity of the dropped ones. The smaller ones look almost too small to be pistol rounds, but again I am no expert on confederate pistols. These were in a line facing same direction where I found the spent confederate french miniè I found a month ago. I may have found the makings of a skirmish line, if not full blown battle line. All in all a great evening. Any insight to what caliber these are would be appreciated.

.36, .44, and two buck and balls? Hard to tell without weights and measurements.
 
You could go to Harbor Freight and get some calipers to find the measurements. The calipers really are not expensive at all.
 
Sounds good fellas, I know the pic ain't that good, the two larger rounds are actually the same size. Will get the micrometer from harbor freight then follow the link y'all posted. Thanks!
