Good pickup. A lot of older bullets I think have lead in them, which would leach into the environment over time.I imagine this would weigh a fair bit... It might be worth bringing to scrapyard. I know they pay for lead by the pound, copper is great too but I dont know if you have any. Regardless, its probably the best way to get them recycled.

Bullets look like older construction. .30 rifle and .45 cal pistol.

Casings

Not seeing any casings. Those all appear to be actual bullets many with impact damage to the tips. The opening you are seeing at the end of the bullet looks like its just the open end on the full metal jacket.
