Musket Balls
Although these were most likely used for hunting, they may also have been shot during the Revolutionary War. Musket balls were made by pouring molten lead into a musket ball mold and trimming off any excess lead after it cooled. To hold excess gas behind the barrel, they were normally wrapped in paper or cloth before being loaded down the muzzle.

Shoe Buckle
Shoe buckles were common fashion accessories for men and women from the mid-seventeenth century to the nineteenth century. Buckles for formal wear were adorned with diamonds, quartz, or imitation jewels and were made of a variety of materials including brass, steel, silver, or silver-gilt. The square design of this brass buckle suggests it was made in the early 1800s. The buckle’s curvature suggests it came from a shoe.
