I got out for a short hunt this evening on the outskirts of New Bern and came away with these items. From left, buckshot, round ball, poss fired Burnside, unknown, unknown, and unknown. Any ideas on the items on the right or if that is in fact a Burnside. It has a flat bottom and looks like two rings.
Nice finds. The first unknown, the round one, is a slide piece from an umbrella. Lots of these are found on civil war sites. I guess the rain didn't stop for war.

Agreed, but they turn up on nearly every field I do over here!
The far right is a broken hook.
TOO BUSY TO DETECT, YOU'RE TOO BUSY!!!

How do you find Gold coins? Reply: 'By finding lots of Silver ones..'
A real man thinks about detecting every 6 seconds
