Pieces of 12 lb cannon ball w/ case shot. Felling axe head, iron ring make up the top row.

Then there are 2 flattened musket balls and a minie used as a nipple protector (notice the tip of the minie, 3 pieces of chewed on lead. In the middle row there are a collection of Confederate musket balls and Yankee three ring minie balls and 1 .53 caliber Sharps

The last row starting at left: 3 pieces of harmonica reeds, a piece of camp lead used for making bullets, next at top, is a buckle of the leather strap of a kepi (the main type of hat worn by the CW soldier). Under it is another buckle stamped with "1854". To the left of those is a colonial 1700s flat button and a button dug from a Confederate redoubt that still has gold glit and is labeled "Plated" on the back with a wreath (above is a leather rivet). Finally is a lip to some type of bag and what looks like some type of leather or cloth grommet?? (Savage bullet above)
Thanks for taking a look and hope you liked :)

Very nice group of relics. WTG! You'll have to open your very own museum if you keep finding this type of material. (I hope you'll be giving TNet members free admission. :D) Seriously, it's good to see American history being saved by those who love it.

Awesome finds...quick question...what is a redoubt?

I believe a redoubt would have been a small, temporary, defensive enclosure.
