Need some help figuring out what type of bullets I’ve found. I’ve never found any before I’m really excited

WOW that is awesome! I have nothing to add but aside from being smaller they seeming to be old old. Hopefully someone pops up and says for sure. Was this a known battle ground place?

Those appear to be Civil War or Pre-Civil War Mini Balls. Looks like there are some sharps in there but I'm not an expert on them.
