Hey everyone! I'm brand new around here, but wondering if some bullet collectors might be able to help out with a couple of odd bullets I dug over the weekend.

The one on the left is 0.51 inches diameter, 0.97 inches in length, conical cavity ~0.33 inches deep. I think maybe a 52 Enfield or "Green bullet".

The center bullet is 0.51 inches diameter, 0.89 inches in length, cavity about 0.62 inches deep and 0.20 inches in diameter. At first I was thinking St. Lewis Cosmopolitan, but I believe the base on that is just a shallow punch mark, not the incredibly deep base cavity on this one.

Thoughts? Thanks for any help in advance!
