A couple of "whats that?" today.
Walled in courtyard at 1875 Mt.Vernon mansion in Baltimore. 60'X120' I've only finished half of it, gonna finish the rest on Friday. Found a lot of clad, 8 keys!, some silver Zuni jewelry, some furniture pieces, old nails. Surprisingly very little trash. First is a small piece with England written on one side and Francis on the other. Nice patina. the rest, not a clue. oh the one I know its a nail. I thought it was interesting that the nail was threaded through head. Not typical.

the one item looks like a safety razor handle to me....looks like you also have a fishing sinker,too....

The one item with the machined grooves looks like a silent dog whistle I once owned. Does the center part turn and open a tiny valve?

Hello Xcolo1. I don't know about the other items but the top middle knurled find is part of a saftey razor as duffytrash says. Here is a pic of a complete one I dug at a 1930's home site. Mine says Gillette on it and I think it is from the 1920's. Nice finds and good luck out there.
