    Found these metal detecting today and need info on them

    Any info on these would be much appreciated! The diameter of the of the smaller bullets is about .357" with a weight of 95gr. The single larger bullet has a diameter of about .36" and weighs 157gr. I think the smaller ones could be 38 Auto. I don't want to reveal just where I found these yet but they are in an area where they shouldn't have been for at least the last 20 years. All the smaller bullets were found in the same hole and the larger bullet was found about 15 feet away.

        The smaller ones are more than likely from a 380 Auto (acp), also known as a 9mm kurz/corto/short. Usual diameter is .355", and 95gr weight would be about right.
        If the larger one is all lead, it appears to be a 38 Special (cal. 358).

          Don't reveal. Otherwise, in a week from now, there will be "Proposition 65" warning signs tacked to all the trees within 5000 yards of your discovery, the EPA will restrict access, and it will cost us more than $1.7 Million in taxes to do a geological survey of the site to make sure no children should wander off from their cribs to eat bullets, while a California Condor will surely be found dead on the spot.

          If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?

              The larger one is copper and definitely not a 38 special. It also has a crimp.

                  I'm not sure. They were found almost on top of one another with a couple lying on the surface which doesn't make any sense.

                    Modern bullets, nothing special.
