Naval watercap cannonball fuse

Coon8448 · May 15, 2013

On the top it says ORD 1862 it also has a picture of an anchor. It is threaded on the inside and outside. It is made of brass. From my research this type of fuse was used by the US Navy during the Civil War.

Here is the top of the fuse

This is the side of the fuse, a silver bell, and some trade tokens.

Better picture of the tokens.

I think these were my best finds of the day four Indian stone marbles. I also found 3 real nice arrow heads but don't have any pictures of them.
