Misc Safe to shoot?

Post image

I was gifted some miscellaneous 22lr and 12g shells . They have varying degrees of patina and corrosion (see in sample). Do you think these are safe to shoot and if so what level of corrosion is to much.

Careful with the 12g. Ive Shot old old shells that break apart and fail to extract or leave part of the shell on chamber. Sitting there digging them out with a screw driver
