Metal Detecting
Hi all. I found these items near one of the early 1800's cellar holes/homesites I have been detecting. They weren't found together and were several feet from each other. I first thought they were random pieces of metal, but upon closer inspection I'm wondering if they aren't parts of a gun. The shorter piece is a little over 3" long and looks like a gun barrel could have fit through it. The longer piece is broken at one end and is 6" long as is. It looks like it could be a trigger guard ?? It is 1" wide at the bottom. The flat piece with the two holes has a "V" stamped on one side and what looks like a "10" or "01" depending on the orientation on the other side.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks for your help.
