Copper tube from colonial site

Howdy All, I found this yesterday at a 1748 store site in a cornfield. The field was later part of a large plantation and is still used for crops. Thanks Steve

Might be a ramrod pipe, or thimble. The holes would be where it was pinned to a wood stock. All others I've seen have had only one hole for the pin, but that doesn't rule out someone making one with two pins.

BosnMate,

You are spot on with your thoughts on this piece!

I will concur as well, that this is a guide pipe for a wooden ramrod from an early musket.
