Can anyone ID the unknowns in this photo? (particularly the large bullet)

[BlackX]

The .69 cal. bullet is about 1.76" long.

(The Minie is a .50--the x was a typo.)

The button reads "Hollander * Boston *" on the front. There is lettering on the back that I can't quite make out but I think one of the words ends in "RTS". (Through some googling, I found that there was an LP Hollander who made at least women's clothes.)

the large bullet is some type of Enfield

Thanks, John. Any idea where I might find pictures of one (or more info in general)? I keep googling. But the closest I've come since seeing your comment was pictures of the .577 Enfield.

Here's a link for bullets, etc.

Thanks, Mike. I'll check that site out.

For the other items, should I post in the Whatzit forum? They were all found in the same general vicinity. I'd give more specifics but it's the only place I'm finding this kind of stuff (as well as a 17?7 half-reale, 18?7 half-cent, and a CW-era staff button) and I hesitate to mention it web-wide. The pipe, half-cent, 3-ringer, filter-kind of cup, and chain/rings were found where officers quarters used to be but the large bullet and button were closer to a river bank.
