Cannonball fuse underplug's??

I found a fuse underplug on the right that I think is like the rare confederate one that was ID'd the other day. Found it and another item that I think is also a underplug, both were found a few years ago on Bayou Rapides outside Alexandria, La. The one on the left does not have threads and is made of lead. Not sure about it.

The threaded brass plug on the right in the photo is indeed an extremely rare Confederate "converted" Bormann fuze's support-plug. :)

By the way... thank you for including the information of where it was found. I'll add that info to my data-list of locations where the very-rare "converted" ones have been dug.

The lead disc shown on the left it not threaded, so it is definitely not a fuzeplug, or any other disc-shaped part of an artillery fuze.
