Hey everyone! 
These are my latest finds and I need help trying to figure out what some of them are.
The first is from a place I just recently got permission to hunt. It's a old farm house which also used to be the site of a old still and speakeasy where folks regularly gathered and gambled. I only had about 2 hours so I stayed around the house and didn't make it to the location of the still and bar. The house was lived in until the late 60's.
I found several old iron pieces, a couple I have no clue what they are. I also found 2 wheaties 1954 and 55 and a quarter from 67 and a few more pennies from the 60s, a zipper pull, piece of spoon,piece of scissors, couple of snaps, 12 ga. headstamp, lots of nails and junk(not pictured), and some type of pendant. It was in 3 pieces but you can tell where they were welded or glued together. I don't have a clue what the metal is and I doubt it's a real ruby. I also found what appears to be a copper bullet. It's hollow on the inside and it looks like it has threads so it may have been some sort of cap for something but what leads me to think it might be a bullet is the crimp marks on the outside. Then I found this comb looking thing. It's about 5 or 6 inches in length and I thinks it's made out of lead(real heavy)What is it
Next pictures from the little homestead where I found a few things before. I found a wrench and this other thing along with a bunch of old nails and some headstamps. These 2 items where in the woods about 150 yards apart. I cleaned the thing with the letters on it best I could but will have to let it soak or put in the electrolysis bucket. Please let me know if anyone knows what it is.
The next picture is of some more stuff I found at my place(the old sawmill site). I found a brass connector or nut of some sort, a piece of lead, pieces of a file, and something that I thought, because of its shape, was an old tobacco pipe when I dug it up but I was wrong.
For a minute I got really excited though. The coolest things to me was the horse shoe and the little spike. This is the 1st horseshoe I have dug up on my property and only my 2nd found metal detecting. Maybe it means luck is coming my way. Also not pictured is about a half of a 5 gallon bucket full of nails, bolts, barb wire, and etc.
Thanks to all for looking and as always any help IDing this stuff is most appreciated.
