Nice finds! Beats my "no finds"! We had 6-8 " of snow last night & it's supposed to get down to -12 degrees tonight............

Ouch!! 82° where I was.
Does anyone have any idea what these are?







And I have no idea what the significance of this is?... its solid copper.

 

[BigWaveDave]

good stuff right there my man...

Thanks Dave

Your first two photos with the pair of unknowns look like battery contacts. The big copper disk is probably just a big copper disk. Stuff like that I save to recycle-- copper and brass has some value.

Forgot to say - I really like your skeleton key!

Garder belt snaps and a pocket watch cover.(just wild guesses) Great finds!

Its funny you said that.. I was thinking something along those lines maybe connecting stockings to knickers or something.

The copper dish may have been used in a druggists shop to mix dry powders(?). Any how really good finds and 86 degrees is unbelievable!

It looks hand-cut and shaped whatever it is.
Its thicker than normal copper sheeting.. Maybe it's just left over from cutting a hole in something else..not sure.
There's Native American history in the area the first thing that actually went through my mind was that it was some piece of copper traded to the natives.. that they made something out of but that might be just fanciful thinking it doesn't quite have the patina to be that old I don't think.
Thanks man.

The two items do look like snaps of some type, the copper thing I don't know

 

[GatorBoy]

Thanks that's where I'm at with it

Those do look like the old garter snaps women used when I was young. Great finds you've made. Thanks for sharing the pics with those of us in the frozen northeast.

The copper disc might be the remains of a bridal rosette. I found one that looks just like it.

Ah ha! Thank you.
I knew I had seen something similar at some point but could not remember what on earth it was
