[petroguy3666]

I NEED YOUR HELP AGAIN, I FOUND THESE AT REV WAR SITE IN MONMOUTH COUNTY NJ. THE IST PIC I THOUGHT WAS SOME SORT OF FIRED MUSKETBALLS, BUT WHEN I CLEANED THEM I DONT KNOW AND THE OTHER ONE LOOKS TO BE FROM A BARREL,MAYBE A SIGNAL CANNON OR FROM A GUN, ONCE AGAIN REALLY NOT SURE. IM HOPING YOU GUYS CAN GIVE ME SOME IDEAS.

I don't know but I am curious also about the metal object on the far right...i dug up a piece that somewhat resembles that over a year ago and I have never identified its purpose.

Bottom photo looks like to attach an axle on a wagon.

I sure the last item isn't this, but: http://www.amazon.com/Bayview-Welli...ternative/dp/B008MG2TQM/?tag=treasurenet01-20

THE PLACE I FOUND THIS IS WHERE I FOUND ALOT OF MUSKETBALLS AND IS A WELL KNOWN AREA THAT BRITISH AND PATRIOTS FAUGHT. I CAN SAY FOR A FACT THAT THIS AREA HAD A BIG BATTLE BETWEEN THE BRITISH AND THE PATRIOTS

Petro,

Maybe providing the size of your items and type of metal will help??

WHEN I LOOK AT SHOT MUSKETBALLS THAT WERE FIRED A THIS PLACE, THEY DONT LOOK AT ALL ALIKE, AND THE METAL I AM UNSURE OF, IT HAS THIS GRAYISH/BLUE LOOK TO IT.

HERE IS ANOTHER PIC WITH A GRAPESHOT

THIS A GRAPESHOT I FOUND IN THE CREEK, IT WAS AROUND 50 FEET OR SO AWAY FROM THESE.

 

[petroguy3666]

I DO KNOW THAT NONE OF IT STICKS TO A MAGNET EXCEPT FOR THE GRAPESHOT

The last item looks like 1/2 of the zinc anode from a propellor shaft. Is the groove 1", 1-1/4" or 1-1/2"?

Exactly what I was thinking

Could the lead pieces be Breneke (sp) slugs? It is a shotgun slug with a 2 piece plastic sabot around it that separates after it leaves the barrel to stabilize the slug and make it shoot straighter...d2

 

[petroguy3666]

It does look like the anode, the groove is 1", its always amazing what you find on these sites. It could be a USA button and right next to it is a part of a prop. That's what makes this hobby so much fun, you never what you will find.
I looked at the pic's of the slugs you were talking about and I don't know, it doesn't look like it, but I don't know. To me, if you look at the picture od the 3 lead pieces next to each other, the ones on the left and right look like crushed or altered versions of the 1 in the middle. I just don't know

 

[d2]

Here is the type I was referring too. I don't know if they are Brenekke's or not...d2

I HAVE THE SAME ITEM AS THE ONE IN PIC 2 NUMBER 2 . I WAS TOLD IT MAYBE A FINIAL .

 

[petroguy3666]

Yup, looks like em, its funny sometimes you want it to be something so good that you can completely not see it for what it is. That's why I love this site, that's one thing that won't be on my "look how cool this piece is shelf" When you find out that something you thought was maybe a rare piece isn't, makes the pieces you do find that are that much more memorable. Thank you for clearing this up, you guys are great!!!
