What do you think? Part of a flint lock mechanism? Found on beach of a fort ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1589058859.425980.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1589058869.743258.webp

Also don’t know if this is just a common lead sinker related to fishing

the piece with the screw is likely part of a broken electrical switch or relay, definitely not a musket part. no idea on the round one

I'm thinking the round one might be an old Zinc plate off a boat hull or motor :dontknow:. These sacrificial anodes protect all below the waterline (hull) contained metal parts from corrosion. These zinc anodes in round shape are in double piece for mounting ...

Interesting . . . How or where would these zinc anodes sit?

I’m pretty sure it’s lead and not zinc tho

I’m not sure what they are, but unfortunately they have nothing to do with a flintlock. Sorry.

the part with the screw looks like a carburetor linkage to me

Nothing I see in the images looks firearm related. Flintlock or otherwise.
