Construction Site Finds

[Bharpring]

Been hunting a construction site the last few days in Savannah where both colonial and civil war stuff has been dug. The site has been pounded, but will be like a new site once more dirt has been moved. Was able to save a few interesting things with my XP Deus HF round coil.

Neat finds , do you think the Iron marble looking ball is Colonial ?
If so what would it be from ? & would there be a case where a smaller Iron say .36 cal ball would be attached to the larger ball?

There is method to my madness (as in my question ) , so thanks & Merry Christmas.

I believe it is a brass ball button missing the base and shank. Yes, colonial.

Well the Ball Button is even better , I recently got some Relics from Savannah & included was the Est, .69 ish Iron Round ball with a est .36 Iron ball connected or stuck to it . I was wondering just what the use of these were , ( mixed sizes of Iron Shot ?) or just junk.
Thanks for your quick reply & that P J really brings out the designs & wording on your relics.
Good Silent Night.

Congratulations on those amazing finds.

I moved a few months ago to coastal Georgia and am using an XP DEUS like yourself.

Unlike yourself however, I am a complete novice (read hack) and know just enough to be dangerous.

Could you recommend any metal detecting clubs or groups between Savannah and Brunswick?
