CW lead, iron and a nasty looking piece of schrapnel

[diggervet]

Nothing spectacular, but lots of it! My son and I cleaned a bit of lead out of our favorite site yesterday. I also found another cap box finial and a shield shaped "whatsit" that I hope someone on the site can help identify. In the wall of one trench I pulled out this jagged looking piece of a schenkel shell that would leave a bruise if it hit you. Finally, I was picking up a faint signal in the bottom of a rifle pit which turned out to be a ramrod which is broken in two. I can only fit the end of it in the picture, but the rest of it looks like an old rusty piece of iron rod. All you other cw hunters give me your opinion on the shield shaped piece. Thanks for looking!

I believe the shield looking thing is a saddle shield from the civil war considering where you found it with all the other relics.Great finds,I am jealous haven't been out in a while but I think I need to go and charge my batteries.Lol
