This is going to be an odd request. I have the opportunity to go detect a spot identified by a buddy of mine with the below surface finds, found while arrowhead hunting. Pretty sure top right is a rifle flint, there’s a rifle ball (don’t know diameter), appears to be very old green/black bottle glass on the left, and as I understand a piece of a soapstone pipe in the bottom right. I know nothing of pottery. Can anyone shed any light on period of this site? Pretty sure it’s pre 1800 due to flint and glass, but how “pre”?

Found in central/western nc.

Unfortunately I can't help date the site looking at the pics. Consider looking at some old atlases, history books, and deed records. Also, if the property owner has given permission, I recommend detecting for 2 reasons. First, uncovering more artifacts can help with dating. Second, any permission is a good permission, until you find out otherwise.
