Possibly pieces of a cannon carraige or a wagon...

There was also a metal piece that was buried and I took a picture of it. I will post the picture tonight. Leaning more towards the wagon.

Well, there's definitely a hex nut and a washer. I don't think hex nuts came into use during the war, at least not until the very end if at all.

Bob Owen may be able to help more with this. he is the Weapons forum host and very good at knowing how to identify stuff like this.

Welcome, JVal!

You have come to the right place to ID the items you found.

I would say this stuff is probably off old farming equipment or somthing

 

[jval]

I doubt that its farming material, these items were in an area that is well known to have hosted skimishes.

Is that hex nut looks very thin? If it is, then it reminds me of some plumbing nut to go over a pipe.
