Exclamation 3 old bullets from old river landing

Hello all. I found these at an old river landing that dates back to the 1850s. If you have any info (i.e. gun type, date) about these I would greatly appreciate it if you shared it. Cheers

They look like Foster style shotgun slugs. Think deer slugs. I believe the one with the star on it is Winchester from the 1970's, but I will have to dig deeper to confirm that.

Nice finds!
Doug

Not very old slugs. Still cool though.
