Colonial What's it?

This was found in an area where I've pulled many colonial items. Not sure what it could be. It resembles the screw down for a flint lock, but the holed end is not threaded. Any idea's

?

It's either the top peace of a lamp shade or the peace that covers a door hinge pin end. Frank

Is it lead or some magnetic metal? If lead could be a bullet that has been carved on. Monty

A bullet transformed into game token ... make these things was common during times of boredom in the trenches. :thumbsup:

Looks similar to an old rivet to me. :dontknow:

Petrified baby mushroom?

I agree with Monty; if it is lead, it's probably a carved Civil War bullet. Nice finds, Breezie

I agree with Breezie agreeing with Monty that it may be a carved bullet if it's lead :icon_thumleft:

Agree. Ball tip from a hinge pin. (If it isn't made of lead...)

Aaron, I found one of those at the Park near Ryan's. You know what park I am talking about. Don't think mine was lead though? I'd have to "re find" it in all the crap I have collected :laughing7:
