I’m getting better at finding true non-ferrous targets on the bulldozed property. Today was these 3. A brass Western Xpert headstamp, a plug for a breather hole in a barrel and what appears to be a brass gauge plate. It says Swaine Syste and is showing increment from 15-35, the rest is missing. I’d guess a pressure gauge.
I’m unsure as to the bung plug material. Heavy like lead, but not soft at all. Possibly an alloy. I know some were non-sparking due to the drum contents.

Too bad that Swaine System plate isn't complete. I am pretty sure that was a regulator plate off of a gas lamp.
