🔎 UNIDENTIFIED A Few Unknowns

[diggummup]

Been hunting some old homesites mixed with farmland. Anything here look familiar?

The long pointed thing isn't magnetic. Tin maybe? Hollow cone shaped. Actually resembles a giant hypodermic needle but unlike any I ever saw used on cows or horses. Looks like it was in a fire also. It was an eyeball find that was close to the other 2 dug pieces.

The flat piece is copper and has remnants of some type of cloth material still attached.

The other piece I believe is brass. It looks threaded but they are actually just rings. It is 2 pieces, that do not separate, just spin.

Anyway probably a longshot but here they are.

2 is hose part

The flat copper piece reminds me of a thing you would put a hot pot or iron on, I remember my Mom had something like that which was copper and material. I agree with ARC that #2 is a hose piece.

the flat copper thing with the hole in it is part of an engine head gasket. That cloth is probably asbestos.

I agree with Creskol, I have dug these remnants before and had that same ID.

Thanks guys. What's the old saying? 2 out of 3 ain't bad? Lol.

No idea on that pointed tube thing anyone?

Weather is supposed to be good tomorrow. Snow will be gone. I'm gonna head out to a new site (same land area) that had a house on it back in the 30's. It'll be a nice little hike into there. This beats beach hunting in Florida by a mile. Even if the finds don't compare. Loving it.
