Went to my permission today. It wasnt a great day but I managed to find a few interesting things. Some of them I know what they are and some I dont. The bullet measures .31 cal by .45 long. The lead teardrop shaped item is lead. The intricate designed piece is brass. No idea what that is either. Thanks for looking.

One piece looks like an old Kodak film can. The R & R and G items look like shipping tags. Very cool and interesting finds.
Thanks for the photos.

Oval piece with ears on the back ...was for the blunt pointed piece with two holes in it to fit through ,then turn to secure. (I think).


Round piece with G on it is a seal. For a wire on a meter maybe ,or if real old it could be a bale seal.

I think that a couple of pieces are from an old kerosene lamp

Yes I've found several types of these boxcar seals. The property is beside what use to be Richmond Petersburg railroad during the Civil War.

The brass oval ring is a grommet used on tarps and canvas covers. It's part of a twist lock hold down.

Thanks. I've found a bunch of these and wondered what they were.

Yes. It's a 1930s replica of a Victorian era sash buckle
