Early 1800's Historical Site - Flintlock Piece? & Jewlery Piece?

Hi Everyone,

A good hunt this afternoon. All items pictured were pulled off an early 1800's site.
A nice mix of relics today.
Help me out, if you can.

Is the flintlock piece a part of the pan assembly or the actual hammer?

On the "unknown" piece...necklace piece? Pocketwatch chain?





Thanks for looking and I hope it's a while before the ground freezes solid!

Happy Hunting,

~Indiana Digger~

Hey Indiana Digger,

That is the hammer which the flint would be clamped into. Nice display.

I've seen similar chain mountings on a ladies change purse, could be that's what you have.

The unknown chain piece probably came from a Victorian ladies chatelaine. Nice finds, Breezie

That unknown piece reminds me of some spurs from around 1812. Here's one thats silver to see what I mean.
Take Care,

Here's the type that I think you found a piece to...........notice how the chains connect to the spur terminal
