Hi All,
Had some good hunting time this past weekend with Sentinel. We found a new spot that seems to be producing more then just mini's. I found a total of 4 Eagle buttons in the area thus far. One bullet below has a hole thru the nose of it. I assume this one was jammed and they had to pull it back out. I'm not sure of one item posted. It is about 2 inches long and made of brass/copper. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Oh yeah, Sentinel has found a CW ax minus the handle. Thanks for looking and hope to post more in the coming week. ;D

HH - Ronin

Ps. That's Sammy my cat begging for my attention... :'(

Hey MonkeyBoy,

Im thinking this may a tough one to ID. Basically, it is tube like with something that runs thru the middle. There are no numbers just some rings around various places. Im stumped. ???

Great finds! Love the fat cat, a real cutie! Congrats on the relics and the happy feline.

What type of material is running through the center of the 2" tube thingy? And are the open ends rounded or slotted?

TT, I think DCMATT nailed this one. It looks like a dip pen.
