Is this a mouth piece and a cone?

I had these two items posted in a previous post, BCH mentioned one may be a Native American Trading item.

I don't know what either item is. The last photo was something I found online called a jingle cone.


I am digging in the woods in East Texas (12 Miles of mostly woods) I am in Franklin County Texas on a private ranch. There was one homestead here in the early 1900's. I was told that there may have been a moonshine operation in a specific area here, but after 6 months of detecting, I see no proof of that. I found an area where I believe I have found a second and even a third homestead, but I can only base that on my findings.

It doesn't look like a mouth piece.. Thinking it might be an umbrella tube.
The cone thing ..can we see a photo of the ends?

Pictures will be here in just a minute, but first I know what an umbrella is and I know what a tube is, but what do you mean by "umbrella tube"? Thanks!
