Was detecting in Lovejoy this morning, in the battle area, in woods. Found three bullets that I don't know are even Civil War era...

First one, is lead, measures .36 or .38 caliber, .52 in height(but is compressed it seems)

Post war as well. When you see the vertical lines in the grooves it post war
 
Post War. The modern bullets are made of a harder alloy and tend to take more damage to the nose without much deformation to the base.
