I have 2 things I haven't been able to ID. Nothing particularly great, just interesting enough that I'm curious as to what they are.
The long one is made of copper. I found it about 50 yards into the woods in front of my house. My house was built late 40's. The road that attaches my land to near by towns was put in some time in the 20s but my woods have been used hunting and I've found IHPs and ox shoes in the area. To sum up, no idea of the possible age.
The short one is brass and I think that includes the screw. It looks to me like the only function of the screw is to hold the button it's going through to the main body of whatever it is. I found this near the cellar holes I've been digging in an area where I've found items from 1840s to 1930s, which is around when the houses were removed. It has a lot of lead pipe scrap and early electrical bits.
Any ideas?
