🔎 UNIDENTIFIED New to Forum, Really Need your Help.

[Tolmanbridge]

I picked up a box of items at an auction and it contained a plastic bag labeled "cannister shot, possibly Civil War." I can't find anything that looks like it so I am turning to the experts on this forum. While the metal balls look like cannister shot, they are attached to a wire. I thought maybe when they initially loaded the balls into the casing they wires were somehow used to make the job easier. Can someone identify these, please? Appreciate any help.
