🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Copper item

[Nathan W]

Found on wagon road I hunted for about an hour today. It's crimped on one end like it was inserted into something else.

Any military action in that area? Could be part of a cannon friction fuse, but it looks a little thick for that.

Not that I'm aware of. I've found a US mess hall fork there but that's it

blasting cap? just a guess

I don't see them blasting anything there it was a farm field at one point unless there were large boulders in the field and I don't k ow if that's how those were removed back in the day.

Maybe part of an oil lamp?

Blasting could have been for tree stump removal.

Looks like an old Coleman lamp generator.

I second RobertK's guess of blasting part!

If both sides are the same, it could be a Splice.

Well the key and wingnut look like 1960's era General Motors. Maybe the copper tube is part of the same car?..
