Today I found my old is coined the date in 1907 barber quarter dollar very worn but nevertheless for me a great find. It was part of a coin spill I dug up 6 coins in total 4 silver 1 nickel 1wheat penny. See photos below.

I also found a different Mercury dime together with a wheat penny in a different hole 4 other Rosie's and another buffalo nickel 1936. I couldn't be happier I'm not sure what the jar with that spray looking nozzle is I found it about 6 inches deep at the base of a large tree.

10 silver coin day very happy!

Here's one similar. Both the ones I've found were made by Carter, this is a Zenith I think. If you clean yours up, it might have a name on the cap. They used these on both autos and tractors, so can't really narrow that down for you...

Wow. Awesome finds. Congrats.
 
The glass bowl looks like a fuel bowl from an old tractor or riding mower.
 
Pretty sure you've found an older fuel filter there...

Yep..usually off of a tractor, the glass fuel reservoir allowed you to see if the fuel was contaminated with water, dirt, debris, etc..and also allowed you to simply unscrew it and dump it to allow fresh un-contaminated fuel to the carburetor. They let gravity pull H20 and dirt from the fuel. Not overly technical...but it sure worked! And KUDOS on the finds! Great silvers, great day in all. Thx for sharing...ddf
