couple hours in my colonial/civil war era site.
first item is an odd little half round brass thingy , no idea what it may have been, but it is pretty interesting.
then the next item is a tiny brass piece with a crown and W.P. on one side and what looks like OO in the other side. any idea who the Crown and WP represent ... ??? .
next is a small 4 holed pewter button. and half of a flat button.
a small two slot draw reed, obviously not a harmonica so if anyone knows what it went to ... thank you .
a flattened piece of copper plating, a few fired and a nice dropped round ball.
an odd screw cap to something with a hole in the top.
and grabbed the piece of bottle just because i liked the very old top. the lip was separately attached, and really old, wish i could have got the whole bottle.
and some shell casings and shot gun brass. and a couple large pieces of lead ( wheel balances found on a trail home ) and two links to a hand forged chain .
Last photo, i noticed some text on the other small brass piece as well ... ???
