Wife wont let me keep this in the house in case it explodes...

Hope this goes through - first time posting a photo here and these are from my first and second times MDing, in and around my own backyard!
Biggest question is the cylinder. Looks like it has a cap at one end and feels like it has liquid inside. What is it?
Also curious about the star and the green (copper?) container. Has a very small hinge on one side.
Really thrilled at these early finds and excited to do a lot more searching! Just outside of Richmond, Va.

The cylinder is a CO2 cylinder used to power BB, pellet, airsoft guns, among other things.

It's hard to tell the size but your bomb looks like a CO2 cartridge to me.

That's a cool old tractor wrench! I like that!

maybe empty, but toss it in trash It is worth nothing

Thank you! One down - 1 to go

Nailed it on the CO2 cartridge, thank you - all is now safe!

Any thoughts on the star? Looks decorative...what might it have been used on?

Less interest in the green thing unless it's intersting. It was in a location and depth of newer stuff, so I'm not seeing much historic potential.

I'm having some misgivings here but maybe the star was used on the side of an old brick building. All the ones I've ever seen though didn't have the circle or brace? thing's. Just a bolt running through center into brick. I still see those on old brick structures.

Don't think that what you have, also a bit smaller. Dunno.

The round green thing is probably a makeup compact that had a hinged lid.

Are you sure you don't want to whack it with a hammer?

 

[Bum Luck]

I got a dozen or so in much better shape - they still have enough gas to power a BB gun.

Toss that rusty old thing. NG. For nuthin.

Kudos to your wife!

I agree with Verbious about the make up. (Face powder tin).

 

[Ripcon]

That's a nice spanner wrench you have in the collection of things you found.

 

[Truth]

The wrench is cool

Those are some great finds. And you found them on your property!

 

[NOLA_Ken]

The star might be part of the cast iron legs from an old treadle sewing machine or something along those lines

 

[ARC]

Your iron piece MAY br from a cast iron sewing machine table...

Similar to this...

Those look like co2 cartrages for BB gun they could explode lol

 

[Kurios1]

Have the wife smack it with the hammer.
