Hey guys,

Hit the coastline near an old confederate civil war fort and found quite a few bullets I need help identifying. I attached additional images of what I think may be a small fuse. Thanks for the help!

I think what you have is called a watercap. It is part of a fuse.

Number 5 looks like a carved bullet. You had a great day.

Thanks nut, any idea what the original round was?

Update

On the side on the craved bullet there is a 5 7. "This is the pattern of imported Enfield bullet for the famous rifle of the same name. These Enfield rifles were a mainstay for the Confederacy during the Civil War"

Hard to tell. Maybe British Enfield. Is number 2 flat on the bottom? Maybe a sharps
