Back to the spot today that was in long-term use during the Civil War. I have found lots from the early 20th century too, so I realize not everything I dig up is from the Civil War. That said, here goes:
This is a large flat piece of lead that I found. I wonder if this is a lead bar that soldiers would make bullets from. Note the circular impressions in the lead. I can't help but wonder if someone was idly tapping the barrel of their gun on it.




Then there's this buckle/slide, which was about 7 inches deep and still has some leather in it. Civil War?


This is all smashed up but looks like the top to some kind of shaker. I think the top piece probably turned. Have no idea how old this is.


Finally, this enormous hunk of iron, which is probably nothing but I like the shape. If you have any thoughts on it, let me know!


Thanks for looking everybody! Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
