Hello, one might be an older rifle type one like it was used in WW2. The one the right is the oldest. Nice lead bullet.

Regards,

Christian

A local park? Sounds like an exciting place  Smiley and been one for quite awhile as that one bullet looks pretty old.

Very nice finds, indeed!! Clapp Clapp Clapp I do believe that Christian is right, on the one shell being from a ww2 rifle, it appears to be ( from the picture) a .30 cal cartridge. the smaller shells that are crimped are much much earlier. by any chance could you post a picture
of the bottoms of the shells. Thaks for posting your finds,,Best Wishes ,,Rob

 i found a similar bullet (live), in another park, threw it in a bin, just to be safe.

Good find Rubber
                           Something we should always be aware of is when your digging in an old military field is when your digging that find , are you going to set off some live ammo when you sink the pick in the ground ? 
                         We have a few old WW2 American camps around here and I have often considered having a look , as the Americans dumped a lot of stuff after the war .  There are reports the army dumped new jeeps and tanks still in their crates .
