I have 20 rounds of military ammo not sure what I got LOL can anyone here tell me what I have by the marks on them. Some are black tips so I am guessing they are Armour piercing but the rest not sure

DEN and TC is two of the marks Iam guess from research I have denver and twin city arsenal made on a few and 30/06 correct me if this is wrong. I know one thing these old eyes are not what they use to be seeing very small print

I think you are spot on.  Plain copper is ball ammo.  Black tip is armor piercing. Orange/Red is tracer.  There are others.
This ought to cover it.  http://pdf.textfiles.com/manuals/MILITARY/united_states_army_tm_43-0001-27%20-%2029_april_1994.pdf
