Any ideas about identification are appreciated!

Thanks for your time.

Oh..just saw this after your post about the “long piece”. There was a pen found..pictured at the bottom of JPC posting. Perhaps you are onto something here. Thanks always for your input...and Congrats on your nice finds as well
