Loads of finds this month. Really need help...!

[Addicted to bleeps]

Hello fellow mud botherers! I've had a productive month of detecting. I've chucked all the pics of my finds in my blog, as it's too much to add it all here, and I explain it all there. I have no idea what half this stuff is, though.

Any help or pointers to what some of this is would be really, really appreciated:

Hiya, Jayreef.

Lead bag seal? Cool! Thats my first of one of those.

And inside of a pocket watch? Yea, that makes sense.

That site with the buckles is the one where I came to the conclusion that the buckle i found is most likely Medieval.

Thanks!

3 clock/watch/compass part maybe

4 with a lion and unicorn i would say livery button

5 possibly a coin weight or a trading token....

6 The buckle i would say by the shape is more modern than medieval.....18th or 19th century

7 nice watch

9 bullets...

10..nice buttons always shows human activity...

Cheers, Blacky!

Its been great, it really has. I've really enjoyed it.

I forgot to say that the one you think is a musket ball, is actually flat-sided on the other side? Its a weird little thing.

The think that might be a shotgun shell feels and looks like stone. Its compacted like stone, or pottery. It has a black circle on it, and the diameter seems thicker than a shotgun end. Mystery!

Anyhow, thanks for taking a look!

the bullets you have there are running left to right 7.62 bullet head .303 case not to sure on the small one? 5.56 blank round .17hmr case

Thats impressive, Putty.

Yea, the small round is an odd one. It's the only live round as well.

dont know about impressive just a bit sad, are you sure the small one is still live i cant see a head on it? i think its a pistol round but im not sure and im not very good on pistol's but it might be a 9mm pistol round but that is a guess?
