Ended the year w/ 2 first for me!

The bugle mouth piece and the Chinese coin is a first for me. If anyone could help with anymore info on either it would be appreciated. All the stuff w/ the mouthpiece was dug on the 30th the other group was dug on the 31st. The brass thing is another mystery item. I thought maybe a weight of some sort but it says 30 and weighs 42 grams. The 30 is engraved into it.

That mouthpiece is a killer find! Was it found in a CW camp?

It could be a 30 pennyweight weight for gold

Yeah, a large New York camp. I got a good bit of stuff from this spot in 08. Then I did not go back until the end of 09 and did ok. I am stoked about the mouth piece. I am thinking it's not a bugle piece though. Maybe a larger horn. It matches some that I have seen on bugles but not in size.

It's probably from a euphonium. I am a musician by profession, so that is a Very cool find to me.
