some old, some new, some just odd

[BenVa68]

i went back to my 1800s house permission, I have pretty much hunted it out but i still manage to find a few things every time i go there. Some old, some new and some i have no idea. The collectors coin was part of a set that was put out in 1968, I have no idea what the frog was a part of but it seems to be lead. The harmonica reed appears to be old and i have found other civil war relics at this site. The bullet casing is a .25 cal from the US cartridge co. which was founded by Maj Gen Benjamin Butler in 1869 after the Civil War. The furniture hardware and padlock i thought were really cool and i believe they are fairly old. The pin says New Brighton and is from the 1940s. The other thing with the holes and a clip i have no idea. If anyone knows what this is i am really curious.

I think that the harmonica reed is actually out of a squeeze box. I could be wrong though. That last item looks familiar but, I cannot think of where I've seen one.

Nice relic hunt!

Really nice day. I'm for some reason thinking the last item is out of an old diesel oil filter. Just my guess. Congrats

That last item may be an old hair roller.

I also thought the reed was kind of heavy for a harmonica but wasn't sure. I found it where there was a gazebo in the mid to late 1800s. The original stonework around it is still there.

I believe Ogre1190 is correct on his I.D. of what that item actually is.

If it is they were some tiny curls. I think the picture is making it look bigger than it actually is. It's about 1-1/2" long and 1/4" round.

This has been a great permission. I've probably been there at least 20 times and i have never gone home disappointed yet. The property owner gave me free reign to hunt anytime i want with no restrictions. Its amazing that i still find as many things as i do after all this time, which makes me wonder how much stuff is missed when you go somewhere and only hunt it once. This property is about 4 acres and i think i could hunt it every day for a month and still not find everything. If i had the time i would start searching it in grids. I started to do that one day and i found a standing liberty in a spot i had gone over a few times before.

I found one like that too. Turned out mine was a Hollywood hair curler.
