A few what is its?

[mastereagle22]

Went last night to the Silver house as Baldingboy calls it. Well lastnight it was more like pull tab heaven.

I weighed my finds bag after getting home and minus the coins I found three and a half pounds of trash.

Did find a few items I would like some help on.

The first is a shell casing.

The second is a round ball I think it may be a musket ball, the area in the picture looks like it MAY be a sprue site, but I am not sure.

The third is a small metal object. I know what you are saying... "Oh really, a small metal object.

The final is another SMO.

The casing is a Winchester Reapting Arms Co 38-56 WCF (winchester Center Fire)

This time the headstamp remained clearly readable: "W.R.A. Co. .38-56 W.C.F.," translating to: Winchester Repeating Arms Company, .38-56 Winchester Center Fire. Incidentally, sometimes Winchester did "Co." sometimes "CO." for company. Winchester's 1916 catalogue listed the .38-56 with a "grooved" 255-grain bullet and 56 grains of black powder. Also offered with smokeless powder, full patch, or jacketed soft point bullet at $40 per thousand rounds.

Barnes notes the .38-56 on the scene in 1887 for the 1886 Winchester lever-action repeater, also chambered for the Colt pump as well as Winchester single-shot rifle and Marlin's 1895 lever-action. It was factory-available until about 1936. A fellow sheep hunter fired that round on the mountain. That's what I like to believe.

Bottom item is a pilot orfice from a furnace or waterheater pilot. The "closed" end should have a tiny pinhole in it.

It's a very large flower pot for the ants that lived in that yard.

Actually I have never smoked a cigarette in my life, took one puff off of one and it just wasn't any fun so I never touched another. The dark area on the index finger is a blood blister I got when I smashed the finger with a hammer two weekends ago building a new treasure box, I have to admit though I can see why you think I might be a smoker. The only bad thing I can say about the Canon Elph is it does turn a lot of things yellow especially close up.

No a problem, I wasn't upset at all about it. I just cannot figure out why the little camera turns things yellow. I took 20 pictures of a silver ring I found and every one ended up looking like gold. So I hope I didn't offend you by replying like I did. Thanks.

Shoot, if you can turn silver to gold. Don't change it, patent it.
