Hi,
Can I get some help with these? I found this in a homesite in an area where I've found a dandy button and another button from the early to mid 1800s. The first picture containing all three pieces are the items that came out of the same spot. Someone suggested the item with a square hole is a flintlock hammer, but a friend of mine who actually knows some about those types of guns says it is too big. That piece has two small grooves that follow the curve of the piece. The longer skinnier piece is flat and the bottom, and the top is curved. That doesn't come out to well in the pictures. I'd like to restore this piece somewhat and give it to the owner of the property as a gift for letting me detect there, but I need to know what it is first, so any and all help would be sincerely appreciated!
