Brass objects.

Dug these four unidentified items about four feet apart. The first is 2 3/8 long widest end 5/8. The second is 2 5/8 four beveled edges. The third is 2 3/4 inches, widest part 11/16, and looks like a small funnel. The fourth is 2 5/8 long and looks like it was busted off of something. These items are all made of brass.

I know you already have been provided with some very good pictures I wanted to post a couple for you too - just got a new book

Most of the artifacts from these sites date to the French & Indian War ~1754-1763

One of the days I will get Lyle Stone's book on Colonial Michilimackinac. I have a lot of xeroxes from it.

Lucas = fur trade nut, book junkie.

I'm not sure about the iron jews harps, especially the one on the right. I think I found a similar item and the bottom was different so wasn't a harp. I've never seen another reference showing a jews harp that looked like that, but I would welcome one if someone can post an example. My friend found what I believe is an iron jews harp but was the typical shape.

HB dug an iron jew's harp this year, and coinmaster 2db dug an half an iron jew's harp last year. But yes, they were all of the typical shape. Not like the large loops on the ones in the photo above...

brass tools are used in a gas environment
brass wont spark
some of the items could be brass tools used for gas pipe construction

I agree with Kugar. These items are before gas pipe and gas tools. Besides we have a positive ID on at least 2 items.
