New civil war relics and a whatsit

[civil_war22]

Went to a new spot today and found some goodies. Found a carved .69 caliber bullet, and several nice pieces of lead. Building a new highway and they are clearing out a lot so gives me a chance to look around. Also the what's it is very confusing.

Could that be some type of lock, with some of the insides missing,for like a trunk or something.Lookes like you had a good hunt and some nice finds.

Your "whatsit" is the foldable winder and centrla axis from an old meassuring tape.
