Hopefully, this is something I can build off of. I filled some jars with minie balls and paired with some Union and Confederate bullets.

Darn it took me a while, but I ran it down. Source is CWT Nov 9th post titled Minnie Ball display for the Fireplace Mantle. Still no hits on that Fresnel Lens question tho. My minie collection fills only a shot glass.
