What are they?

[Gene Mean]

I thought this was a bucket handle when I first dug it up but when I got home I could see letters and numbers on the metal 'handle'. CAT# LS6 and there are some numbers below that next to the slot. 694 623 10. There is a spring or coil of wire inside the cylinder.
Not sure what this lead is either. Weighs 9 grams and is .79 inches in diameter and is .12 inches thick.
Help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you. It was near the road and a telephone pole.
