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.

Nice finds. I hope there are not any live rounds still in that area.

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 .
