Founds these at a home site that has produced 1700s cuff link, cute Spanish Real, muff pistol, civil war button, musket ball, etc etc. Both of these look familiar but can't place them. The darker piece seems to be cut off on one end. Open on the cut off end but solid on the other end. I'm not good at identifying different metals but the darker one is heavier than the other. Dark one about 3 3/4" long but cut off so originally longer. Larger piece is about 4 1/2" and wider end about 1 1/4" wide.

The relic with the slot is part of a push-up candlestick.

The item on the left has me stumped, but after spending some time trying to research it, I am leaning towards it being a sleeve from an old wood stemmed parasol or umbrella. It's an interesting piece for sure.

Very interesting and very similar! The one end of it is solid though....unless that is the end that the umbrella part hooked to. Makes me wonder how many things like this I've tossed in the past thinking either newer or farm machinery parts....

Wonder if it could be the end of a walking stick?
