Nice finds ! The clay glazed Ink bottle is definitely CW period, and pretty sure the button and bullets are as well, but the details, like button back mark, cavity and diameter of bullets can confirm. Curious how you recovered the ink, could be a good camp pit to dig.

Thank you! The ink bottle was a surface find when I was metal detecting. My farmer had plowed the field and it was sitting right on top!
