Well, I know that the last photo looks like old leather rivets. The handle looking things were probably afixed to old tin cups I'd say.

The item at top left in the first photo and in the third photo is a belt plate keeper.

The other items are musket sling hooks!  I'd keep the information on this site to pretty secretive and search it VERY thoroughly! If all of this came up in 4 feets square, then the place is LOADED!

Those are all GREAT finds!

And the piece on the bottom left is a broken part of a sword hanger! Be on the lookout for the other part. (It looks like this, and could easily be dismissed as a piece of wire

The only things I don't recognize right off are the square brass pieces, but I'm sure someone will help you out on them.

Nice work, plehbah.


Looks like the square brass pieces have an ID now.



What I'm wondering is... is the belt plate to the left or to the right of that 4 foot square...
