    Early 1800's Historical Site - Flintlock Piece? & Jewlery Piece?

    Hi Everyone,

    A good hunt this afternoon. All items pictured were pulled off an early 1800's site.
    A nice mix of relics today.
    Help me out, if you can.

    Is the flintlock piece a part of the pan assembly or the actual hammer?

    On the "unknown" piece...necklace piece? Pocketwatch chain?

    Thanks for looking and I hope it's a while before the ground freezes solid!

    Happy Hunting,

    ~Indiana Digger~

    Hey Indiana Digger,

    That is the hammer which the flint would be clamped into. Nice display.

    I've seen similar chain mountings on a ladies change purse, could be that's what you have.
    Oooooo........ Shiny!

    The unknown chain piece probably came from a Victorian ladies chatelaine. Nice finds, Breezie

    That unknown piece reminds me of some spurs from around 1812. Here's one thats silver to see what I mean.
    Take Care,
    Pete,

    Here's the type that I think you found a piece to...........notice how the chains connect to the spur terminal
