✅ SOLVED Anything Good or Junk? Horse Tack or Cufflink? Gun Part or Tool?

[DCMetal]

Found these today in my yard. The first was a small signal, buried deep. I believe it's copper and looks to be horse tack or a cufflink? It has a fitting on the end.



The second one was found more than 10 inches deep and rang in with a big 90 on my AT Pro. It looks like a tool or gun part. It looks like it has been filed. It's not attracted to a magnet, weighs 147 grams or a little over 5 ounces. With it was a small piece of pottery and milk glass. Thanks for looking!

the first pic looks like half of a rivet, the second pcs looks like it fits into

a pipe or conduit bender, flip it over and you can bend a smaller size,

it looks to be alum.

Thanks for chiming in. The 2nd piece is actually very heavy and doesn't bend at all. It's definitely not aluminum because it doesn't stick to a magnet at all. I'm stumped.

Aluminum will not stick to a magnet. Iron and steel stick. Fyi

If the top were a cuff link, it would most likely be more oval, rather than round, and would most likely have a loop on the back.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but cuff links have loops on the back, and an elongated link between the loops.

Best of luck to you!

Shows you what I know. ; )

I don't mean the pc will bend, it holds down on the pipe while the pipe is bent around

a round fixture.to the degree you want it to be, like 90 degrees. run conduit across

the ceiling so far, turn 90 degrees, go straight down the wall to the floor or etc.
