Beach Finds, Hint of a shipwreck?

[OldNate]

Hi All,

I'm new to the forum and wondering if anyone might have insight on these artifacts. They are both copper. I found them both on the same beach four or five years apart. The beach is in Humboldt county CA.

I can’t tell much as to size. The larger item resembles a cork cover (cap) for a champagne cork. The lip, toward the lower edge, may have held the wire cage in place. Just a guess.
Maybe post something to denote it’s measurements. Thanks.

My bad. I know better than posting without a reference for measurement. The little bowl is just under 5" in diameter and a little over 2' high. Best--Nate

Looks like a cap for something... i for one do not recognize it.

Well, the size eliminates my champagne cork cover idea.

Unless it was a giant champagne bottle
