Those aren't bullets, they are live cartridges with powder and primers still in them.
They look like blanks(possibly .303) with no bullet in the end(see the crimping) but if one went off it could take your hand off.
After being in the ground all these years they will probably be unstable, liable to go off if you drop them or mess with them. If you're lucky the primer and powder will have been killed by the damp, if not???
Get rid of them quickly and carefully. You should really take them to the police, if you found them all together there may be more there which children could find.
