Do we win anything if we get any right. :tongue3: :wink: :D
You have some beautiful cobs. Would love to hear the story.

Your arrow buckle may be from a WWI gas mask bag.

WOW I never knew about the arrow buckle, will anyone give me $$$ for it ?
As for the Reals....
Not much to tell really, I was living and working in Spain in 1996 when they had real bad storms hit the coast
and we dug these off the beach where I lived.
They might be up for sale if the price is right...

And the white thing ?
anyone guise what that is ?
I know what it is..... but I'm testing you guys...
here's a better pic..

This is close to the truth...
Its the lead that holds the flint on a flintlock rifle.
the u shaped space is for the screw that holds the 2 pincers to hold the lead and flint.

Dang! I knew that--but replied too late.

:(

Well, the little buckle is off a suspender clip. And the little metal piece with the loop on top I have dug a similar example of, but figured it was suspender related as well.

Which thing ?
Round with hole and loop or the other.. ?
the one on the left probably is suspender related.

We understand several of the items you wanted an ID on. That's fine but if you read the sticky on this forum you will see:

• Do not deliberately withhold any information just to "have fun" seeing if members can guess correctly.

The first "pillar and waves" cob is upside down. The waves are on the bottom.
