Hey everybody, I had a good hunt yesterday, Mid East coast colonial farm. Im not sure what kind of musket balls these are, a few are just globs of lead I think and one is an actual bullet, maybe it was from a different time period. As for the buttons, I could make out 1775 on the back of the big one twice I think but it is so faint I couldn’t get a good photo with my phone. the front side of the big one has remnants of lettering as well but I can't make out any of the text besides a couple letters, I'm going to need to get a magnifying glass or something to really inspect it. (I’m new).

The flat button doesn't have any markings I could make out but both the front and back are still intact. The pendant / pin looking thing with the hole in it might have something on the back but it is also really hard to tell.

Im pretty sure that piece with the glass is a cufflink, very ornate and the glass is squared just like a diamond. The buckle could be anything as far as I know.

Thanks for the help folks.

I think the second item may be a pendulum from a gingerbread clock

Thank for the input, it certainly is really heavy and has some sort of attachment point on the back. I was wondering if it was used to imprint things too
