Brothers Hunt Day Five, Help with ID

[comfyinvermont]

Got out to the mill site today, but it was really overgrown. We did detect the cellar hole area and found some nice artifacts, but no coins. I located the largest crotal bell I have found whole, (see picture with quarter for size). Along with that was a pewter salt shaker top. We need your help on two of the items I found today. The first looks like a pike but is too thin. The other is wrought iron and is missing one of the curly cues on the end, (there would have been two on the one end). I have seen this before in one of my artifact books, but can't put my finger on it. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Rick also found some more buckles and some other items. Tomorrow is a new cellar hole. I will post some pictures of todays site also. Thanks for looking. Lance and Rick.

Your curley cue thingy looks like an Ox yoke key I have around here some place except mine isn't that long and it's straight...just a guess

Just how old is this cellar hole? Good grief, your finds look like you are in the UK.

Great site, those old mills are fun to hunt. The Crotal bell if it has 2 holes in the bottom is from the early 1800's but if it has 4 holes it's from the mid 1800's. Great finds!
