As has been pointed out they are mini bullets here is a web link to help id the multiple different types http://www.baymediapro.com/collection/bullet_search.asp (http://www.baymediapro.com/collection/bullet_search.asp) The photo is just some of those I found on Ayr beach west coast scotland near Greenland Castle, probably from a beach firing range, hope this post gives you an idea of this type of find and the different types you can dig up, out of interest they caused numerous horiffic injuries even when hitting you in a limb during the American civil war so they would sting a bit if they hit you.

Title: Re: what are these????? i.d please????? Post by: Acoustic on September 20, 2011, 10:06:31 PM Well there are a few people who collect the different munitions as a sideline hobby, I don't, but choose to give them away to those that want them.
