Another excellent day on a friends farm near Battle of Five Forks in Dinwidddie VA.

Had a surprisingly excellent day on my friends farm near Five Forks in Dinwiddie VA. An old house used as a civil war hospital is accross the street from his farm. Found these items on his farm today. Belt buckle with some leather still attached, pocket watch missing glass but still had some gear parts inside (which shocked me to find after I cleaned the mud off at home), Spencer casing, and two bullets. One bullet is fired and the other one apears to have been rammed or used as a pain bullet, help me out on that one please. I also found the round object that appeared to have a threaded center and textured exterior that is only about 1/2" accross. Canon anyone identify it?

Great finds. I think I've hunted that exact same area before. I think the pain bullet is a myth

It does look like teeth marks on the bullet where they bit down. Congrats on some good stuff.

Does anyone know what the small threaded round piece may be?
