Found at old Civil War Camp Site

[ClayDigger]

These came from a heavily pounded Civil War camp site in Germantown, TN. Not much left at the site but some bricks, but did manage to find an old jar lid with glass insert and what appears to be a pot handle. Any information would be appreciated.

The jar top is made of zinc and probably early 1900's Definetly post civil war. the other piece I'm not sure about.

The piece on the right is the handle to a pan or pot,they were usually riveted on,and I have dug them in 1850-ish camps

Kuger,
It is hard to tell from the photo but there are 3 small holes that look like old rivet holes where it would have attached.

Favored Popa has got it right, it's a stove lid handle off of a wood burning stove. Got one just like it on my old wood burner.
