CIVIL WAR ITEMS NEED HELP

[kicknrocks]

found these items in a empty lot in a historic small town in mid mo. a couple months ago. Im pretty sure im getting into some hut sites, can still see the indentions in the ground, a row of 4 in this group. The projectile cone is 11.8 oz 1 5/8 inch dia. 1 1/4 tall. the base looks like it had a iron case filled lead its wt. is 1 lb 4.1 oz, 1 7/8 dia. and 1 1/4 tall.. The ingut wt. is 1 lb 6.4 oz. looks like it had lead shaved off in a place or to. Also the lead circle with a cross was broke when I was taking from hole, looks as if somebody formed it up and added lead. It also has a piece missing that looks like had a loop to hang by. I would like to dig these huts but owner does not want any big holes dug. so I have only dug a corner of one and found these. I have found a lot of civil war items from this lot including a (U S) belt plate many bullets a couple buttons and coins and tokens. Bought a AT Pro for my xmas and love it. I hope someone can help IDing these for me. Thanks... kicknrocks

Thanks SS and BK, I don't know what the counter weights look like so I will get back after I look some up.
