My First Round Ball I hope, and a pan I need help on ID

[rfloyd5]

All,
Yesterday I went out into the Woods of Baltimore County. In a stream I found about 10inchs down this old pan. It took a while for me to ID the metal as Aluminum. after a clean up on back of pan I found the stamp that I can not ID on the internet. Any help would be great if somebody could ID the make of this pan, and maybe a year. (all pictures will be below)

Also, I believe I found my first round ball not to far off from the location of the pan.
It is not magnetic, and I weight it at .4 ounces(I might need a better scale ). And it is a tad small then a US dime.
In the last picture I think I see a what would could be a SPUR on top side of ball, but I am unsure.
Again I would love any Help on the ID and may be a time frame.

Thanks in advance Rich

The pan might be a camping utensil, maybe either a frying pan or dinner plate or something along those lines.

Thanks for the replies so far. I will keep both for sure. Unless somebody comes back and says the pan came from Walmart or something. But the round Ball will need to go somewhere special in my home and be labeled as my First.
Keeping my fingers crossed that ID can be found on Pan. And other people can also agree that this is indeed a round ball. To bad there is no way to know of age. If I'm not mistaking, don't they still sell these balls for hunting nowadays?

yes. people still own and fire black powder arms and as such you can still buy the balls.

also a few seconds of google work has nailed down the maker of your bowl.

note the mark on bottom. The makers name intersects the word aluminum making it a bit confusing. The maker of the bowl is TACU Co. TACU stands for The Aluminum Cooking Utensil company.
Your bowl appears to be from the 1930s, somewhere in there. Here's a link to a couple other similar bowls by the same company to get an idea what you have.

I think your pan is wearever aluminum, frying pan.

Most of the old round balls have a white patina, not sure about your pan. Good luck

You all are the best thanks for the answer. Dirtwizard thank you for the link.

Big Thanks to all the people that put me in the right direction to ID the pan I found. It looks to be a Wear-Ever #306 Aluminum Camping Skillet Saute Fry Pan Cookware 5.5".

Here are images of what it would have look liked if it wasn't 10inchs under ground for God knows how many years.
