Forgot I had these 2 items. I found them in my garden a few years ago. What are your thoughts on these.

The piece of metal is smooth as silk and has no rust on the inside(bore)? And the hole (nipple)? Could this be part of a muzzleloader ?5AF746F3-EEB7-4C83-A802-38113FEA9554.jpegC67E901E-C126-4E8A-9FF9-2B6C139E5952.jpeg

I found this huge chunk of lead the next day. It appears to be a “projectile shape” that has mushroomed. I haven’t weighed it, but I would guess, 1oz, maybe more. 5AF746F3-EEB7-4C83-A802-38113FEA9554.jpegC67E901E-C126-4E8A-9FF9-2B6C139E5952.jpeg64C03EF3-F606-4D4E-B7F4-9C9B92F7B754.jpeg37E16A88-5DC5-4AE7-BFB6-A4A8C2EE4C8E.jpeg
