40 minutes and a whatsit...

[Bavaria Mike]

After celebrating two days of Christmas I was ready to get out. Was a beautiful sunny day but cold and windy. I knew it was cold and could only hang about 40 minutes out there, after checking the temps when I got home, 25F/-3.7C, Burrr! The top 1” was nearly frozen on the grass field but still able to dig. I found a few relics and was satisfied with getting out. A friend and I got out several days ago looking for an old cart road in the woods that joined two towns, we were not very successful and hit a battle field from the early 1700s for the last hour of the hunt. I found a musket ball and my buddy found this tool looking whatsit. He was going to toss it even after I told him it could be a musket rifle type tool. Any help on the ID? It is 5” or 126mm long. Has a spatula thin type end going into a thicker handle with a small flat hook at the end.

Today’s finds. The button on the left and found the right global type button a few days ago.

Two coins, 1924 and I’m not sure what the right coin/token is, 15 with a non readable legend and a hole in the middle, maybe manufactured that way. HH, Mike

A little too small for a shoe horn, spatula end is 3/4" wide. Maybe a shoe sole cleaning tool, LOL, it is possible where I am detecting. Seems like I have seen this tool before somewhere. HH, Mike

paint or rust scraper --- flat on one end with a bent end on the other

I agree. It looks like a shoe horn.
