Need firearms expert

[No gold in NY]

Found these items where Revolutionary War activities could have happened. The chunk is lead with one of those shell looking things still embedded along with what could be two partially melted musket balls. wondering if the brass could be primers or blanks. All were found four inches in gravel. The brass looks about the size of modern 22cal.

Thanks for any help.
