hello everyone,
need some expert advise on this one. recently i came across an area that gave me a few minie balls and part of a 3 piece new york button.
these little guys came from the same area and they are a mystery to me. but i'm not that knowledgeable on military items if this is military.
my guess is it is but need help. what i call the front is clearly stamped U.S.
what i'll call the back of all of them has what i'll say looks like a bomb on it.
i took the photos in macro mode. they are smaller than a penny so i hope it is clear enough for positive id. i'd like to know what these oddities are regardless of civil war or otherwise. thanks in advance. i also found some odd copper all over that day and will be posting id for those as well, thanks for your patience.
here is what i'll call the front
here is the back
here is a close up of the back
here is a old worn wheatie for scale
