Nice diggin Ty. The piece of brass looks like the same piece I found earlier this year, but I never found out what it was.

Ty,
Great variety big guy. Congrats on the nose cap.
If you guys need help digging old coins just let me know. I'll bring my bucket.
Hopefully we'll see some videos from Rob on your outing today. As long as they don't include you three and Barry White music I'm happy.

The piece on the bottom looks like the part that holds a ramrod. Doe it have a large enough hole in it?

It is large enough but it is threaded in both ends.

tym, that's an intersesting piece of brass. Never saw one exactly like that before. Check the inside threads and see if they are opposing rather than in the same direction. If opposed the odds are it is a really nice threaded pipe connector which allowed two pipes to be spliced together without either pipe (or tube) being required to turn. .

They are opposed. I was thinkin that it was a conector, but for what, I don't know.

I think Johnnyi is correct. What is the inside diameter?

I mic'd it and it is 8.25 mm / 5/16 in.
