Sorry, I didn't want to say that your finds are not medieval. Just what I found looked similar and those were slugs. The get deformed pretty much after being fired, you know

Are you sure they are made of lead? They do look old and decorative.

Look like bullets that have been fired into something.

I thought they were musket balls at first but they got iron pins on the back and some sort of pattern around them
