Hunted a couple bean fields where some mid to late 1800's homesteads used to sit. Got a few items I have been able to identify here and a few I haven't. Part of a bell, a piece of a gas lamp knob (I think), and the comb looking thing is actually a late 1800's "Hot Comb" women would sit on the stove before straightening their hair. I bet that hurt if it touched the scalp! Anyhow, the other 2 items is what I'm curious about. The lever item almost looks like part of an old lever action rifle except I think the arm would round up the other direction to create a finger hole? (Half Dollar in pic for size reference). The other item looks like a tiny valve stem but has threads on the end. A little writing on the top but all I can make out is M&W. Any ideas? Unfortunately the only coins found was a 45 merc. These houses were gone by the early 40's so I'm guessing even that coin was likely dropped by a farmer later.
