Old coppers and a crazy relic

[ianstet]

Past two hunts yielded some great coins [1794 Half Cent, Capped Halfdime, 1718 KgI, 2 KgII, Braided and Draped] but the relics blew them out of the water. Handful of musket and pistol balls, Rev war ramrod holder and scabbard frog, 1600s nipple button, and the coolest cast brass piece I've ever seen—Pretty graphic though so don't scroll if you're sensitive to lewd content.

By its proximity and style I have to guess its Georgian Era but since it has no attachment pieces on the back I can't imagine it would have been used for decoration or as a clasp. Any information anyone could provide would be very much appreciated.

Welcome to Tnet from the UK
Looks like you have a really good place to detect with those nice finds.
Can't ID your 'pocket porn' but we have seen similar items posted, just can't remember if they got IDed.

Wow, just amazing old finds... welcome to Tnet from Toronto.

Oh my, the cast brass piece you found reminded me of my first date with my wife.

Looking forward to seeing what else you find,
Dave

Wow! What a hunt!

The naughty bit is a broken pipe tamper. Supposedly, Ben Franklin used one similar to it.

Makes sense, I found a rude one from the 18th C. They were made in the very late 18th C, & in the UK, they are still unsure who made them.
