Re balls on Burrow (Rat) Island. I have an ancestor who was an Engineer with the Royal Engineers Submarine Mining based in Gosport in the early 1900’s. They made and tested underwater mines. There are some good photos and info online. They certainly look like mines. Pre WW1.

You know I suspect some of the musket and pistol balls that mudlarkers find are just fishing weights. They're known as 'drilled bullets' and until fairly recently were made of lead and the hole drilled through them closes up very easily, I have loads that I can no longer find the original hole and have to drill a new one.
@Sifinds

I would tend to agree with you… but none had holes at all. They could equally be shrapnel balls, but the Minnie bullets came just after musket balls so I believe they were those. Cheers 👍🏻🐾🧡
The warships are awesome. Kris is such a larrikin, just lives for the moment. What fun for all of you today. The little heart may have come off a jewellery box or trinket box. Rat Island sounds fascinating. I love history.

The belt clip/ key thing and buckle with the hole at the end are both from a WW2 gas mask bag strap. The loop on the buckle is to attach it to a brass hook on the bag I wonder if they're from the same bag.
