    Colonial What's it????

    This was found in an area where I've pulled many colonial items. Not sure what it could be. It resembles the screw down for a flint lock, but the holed end is not threaded. Any idea's?

    It's either the top peace of a lamp shade or the peace that covers a door hinge pin end. Frank

    Is it lead or some magnetic metal? If lead could be a bullet that has been carved on. Monty

    A bullet transformed into game token ... make these things was common during times of boredom in the trenches.

    I agree with Monty; if it is lead, it's probably a carved Civil War bullet. Nice finds, Breezie

    I agree with Breezie agreeing with Monty that it may be a carved bullet if it's lead

    Agree. Ball tip from a hinge pin. (If it isn't made of lead...)

    Aaron, I found one of those at the Park near Ryan's. You know what park I am talking about. Don't think mine was lead though? I'd have to "re find" it in all the crap I have collected
    Stand up for what's right, even if your standing alone.
