Found these two items recently and am not sure what they are. The wedge shaped object appears to be made of aluminum. The writing reads No. 88 T.R. Hall Burlington N.C.. I did a search on the name and found that they made butter molds and ice planes. The small object is made of copper or something similar. It think it looks like a leaf sight off a rifle but I'm not sure. Sadly, it broke in my pocket when I crouched down to dig up another find. I also have this round ball I've posted about before but I've cleaned it up a bit since. It's .53" in diameter.

Your wedge maybe a wedge for splitting ice blocks. Just a WAG
your second item is a reed for a squeeze box.
the round I'll leave to the bullet experts...
great finds... Keep hunting that place.. Must be more there...

An accordion reed! Thanks HuntinDog! Don't feel too bad about breaking it now.

Your wedge might not be aluminum. In the old days timber falling wedges were made of magnesium. Take a small piece off the wedge and see if it will burn, but do it in a safe place, because if it does burn it will be very hot and almost impossible to put out.
