Nice Finds. I see the one on the left with the tapered end to it, and the handle on the top is a part to a whiskey drum valve. These go back to the 1700's. They were found on some sunken ships from that era.
 

WTG I really dig the bracelet.

Uh, just wondering what makes you think the bullet is Civil War? Most of the other stuff don't fit the era. Any measurements and weight of the bullet would be helpful, and is it lead or jacketed? Other than the questions, those are some great finds. Monty
 

Nice finds, bet you won't keep driving by that place again without getting out to do some diggin!
 

I know a lot about bullets in generel but not CW bullets. So if I have misspoke I apologize. It may well be a CW bullet, it just don't look like the ones I am accustomed to seening. Looks chewed on and I don't see any lube rings? Maybe it's just my eyes? Monty
