I dug this up in the woods yesterday and I can't find any info on the company. Anyone have any input? Looks like maybe a water jug spigot?

J.B. BOTT. CO.

I also found a 'Coin Silver' fork. Has anyone seen this stamp before?

I see 'COIN SILVER TRIP'

THX!
 

I think the spigot has something to do with seltzer water, coin silver is great but the triple might mean triple plated.

The bottle top is for a seltzer bottle, they were refillable. The fork is not coin silver, it is coin silver triple plate over a more base metal.

Both explanations make sense to me. Thanks, guys!

Those Seltzer bottles came in a rainbow of colors and are very collectable.
Even those tops are collectable.
I tried to research the company on your seltzer top, but without knowing the area it was found it's tough to find.
