Got out for a bit today...

[Mike(PA)]

Went down to my neighbors yard today hoping to find more silver. Well I didn't finds any silver. All I found was a 1968 dime, a general electric tag, an old shotgun shell that says "Winchester made in USA" and at the bottom it says "Super Speed" and the last thing I found looks like its some sort of bit that goes in a drill press or something. It says Hoppe's Oil on it. Does anyone know what this is? Thanks HH

Apparently you aren't a hunter neither am I. My mom had a sporting goods store when I was growing up and in it was Hoppies Oil. It is for oiling your rifle to clean it, barrel not stock. I have never heard of it in any other way so I think what is it is solved. Sounds like with finding bullets also that your area is or was a hunting area. Hunters lose things out of their pockets keep on searching.
