Hello there
Can anyone help me ID these items? I found them detecting in some woods near Philadelphia. I think the funnel like item is made of copper, the other thing feels like it's brass. Thought maybe they have to do with old hunting equipment?
Thanks!

I can't say, but interesting items anyway.:thumbsup:
 

The binocular looking thing looks like a salt and pepper shaker to me. The one hole being for salt and two hole for pepper. Just my two cents.
 

It looks like threads inside for something to be threaded into each bore.
 

Well I don't know what the copper item is but the twin nozzle is from a fire fighter pump. HH

Members on this site make it an amazing resource, thanks again.

I think most are from having used that type of Item in their lifetime or known someone who did.
 

The tube item looks to be a spout from some old vessel, fuel can maybe?
 

That's a great id! My grandfather had a gorgeous old Indian water pump backpack.
 

Very cool find and great ID. This summer, I found the lid to a metal Indian tank. I thought I had the gas cap to a motorcycle, lol. I never knew about the mobile fire fighter's tank until I found that cap. I love the aspect of forcing us to learn about new things because of our research into our finds.
 

I knew that looked familiar. I remember fighting brush fires back in the 70's with one of those "indian tanks" strapped to my back. One guy would spray the water and another armed with a wet broom would sweep the flames out ! That was a lot of work !

Wow Ed! I think I'd volunteer to be the sprayer lol
 

The cone thing, looks like a spout. To a water jug, oil jug, kettle or something. :thumbsup:

Keep @ it and HH !! :hello2:
 

And the third looks to be a penny? :dontknow:
 

Looks like it came from a water can.
