Hi my name is Kansas Boy and I was looking at your finds and would like you to look back on a post of mine about and object I found made out of brass. I found it in an area that was a part of fighting around Kennesaw Mt. in Ga.When I looked at this picture of the cannon balls and other finds it looked alot like one of your pieces.

That is NOT a breach plug!!!  It is a FUSE!!!  Be careful!!  Find an Artillery specialist in your area . . . DO NOT try to de-fuse your self!!
