In my recent trip in search for relics I found a few items that I couldn't identify and was wondering if anyone knows what they are. Appreciate any details you might be able to provide.

Top one looks like an old battery. Mostly manganese dioxide and a carbon rod. The sexond is a black dowder pouch used for loading musket style rifles and pistols, most likely copper. Its very well preserved, look after it! Great find :)
 
Thanks for the replies. I have a few other objects I might need help with so I will post some photos soon. Cheers
