Some in-depth study led me to a nice spot this evening. Dealing with corn stubble but had some pretty good results. I included a picture of the boot pistol barrel with one I found a couple years ago. This one is a larger caliber than my other one but they seems to have some of the same markings on them. The 1/2 penny token is one that I hadn't seen before and was pleased that the dates on these range from 1824- 1827.
I could use some help from you relic experts. If you look at the top left of the first picture, could someone tell me what those rings are? I seem to find them on a lot of the old sites. Also, at the top right of the same picture, I found what looks like part of a harmonica reed except for the fact that it is pewter. Is this a harmonica reed or another kind of an instrument part? There is also a piece of brass in the same picture that is the shape of a fish, no markings on it of any sort. Last but not least, does anyone know what the piece of iron is or what it might have been used for? Thanks for looking.

Nice bunch of finds, the token you have has traveled along way. Your token is the 1828 1/2 penny, they are always a welcome find. Nt. Brian C.
