My relics of 1918 civil war

[Aquila]

First sorry for my bad English . I have collected Finnish civil war stuff several years. I collect both red and white guard stuff. Had a detector last year and started to dig civil war battlefields around my hometown. Area is big and many good sites are gone . I detect forest that had very much activity during the Battle of Tampere 23.-5.4. 1918. Battle was biggest ever fought on Scandinavia before WW2 including bitter street fighting and heavy artillery fire. I have quite big collection now, many sites were untouched before I get there.
Some of my relics here (red and white guardist costumes are from local museum, just posted them here).

Nice! I see a harmonica reed mixed in with the stripper-clips and shells in the bucket.

Are those musket balls? Or balls from some sort of anti-infantry grenade/claymore/artillery shell?

Shrapnel balls, more info of these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shrapnel_shell

More reeds, these are from same hole. Found from battlefield area but reeds were deeper than usual cw relics here. I don´t know who dropped these, might be earlier than Finnish cw
