1700-1800's camp site

[Meditech]

I need some help on a couple items, I found a old regiment camp site in the woods pulled a 1872 quarter, canon ball a button with a royal crown in the middle,I'm in Canada btw, another item uncovered is what I thought was a old smoking pipe but its not and I have no clue what it is. The canon ball is 9 1/2 inches around and roughly 5 pounds, so any help on the pipe looking thing and button would be great, cheers

Top of a teapot maybe?

Be carefull, some canon balls can hold a charge, Nice finds.

 

[Samuel_Champlain_FTW]

Yeah he's right. What would a cannonball with a charge look like? A circular spot on the ball?

Post some pics Meditech, before you blow yourself up.

 

[Meditech]

Haha there is no fuse spot on the ball, that's the first thing I looked for when I dug it up, I will post a pic

[flinthunter]

Nice finds. The curved piece looks somewhat like a spout off of a tea pot.

 

[Meditech]
