Please help! 4 different finds! What could they be???

[Marie0424]

Good morning!!! I have 3 different finds here and would LOVE assistance in finding out what they are!!! The information I have to help is that they were found near an area with a Danish Fort on it that was 1700s-1800s. That's all I've got!!! A friend thought maybe first metal piece could be a part of a sword and maybe the bottle pieces could be an inkwell. This bottle is SOOO small, we found the top and bottom at different times - wow so cool, right The porcelain was actually found underwater on a popular wreck diving site, 1700s era, but I don't know much about the wreck site at all.... But it is in the Virgin Islands. You guys are soo helpful, cannot WAIT to see what information you have for us!!! I am going to label them Artifact A (bronze looking piece), B (brass looking piece), C (small broken bottle- it is glass) D (porcelain) Thank you!!! ),

decoration from a chest or trunk is my guess.

Ink well remnants...
Key hole cover...
Hair Décor/clip piece... BUT... more likely a desk paper "clip"
And porcelain.

PS> You are on a "hot spot" IMO... I would work it hard and long.

Interesting ideas!!! Love it!!!! What does IMO mean Yeah, we agree!!! Do you think the metallic pieces could be related to a sword or dagger? that was suggested.... It was near a fort...

IMO= In my opinion

Don't worry we all start somewhere and have to learn the lingo as we go! GLHH

 

[Marie0424]

Thanks for the ideas! Love it!!!

Pic #2 looks like a bed knob.

Hi DCMatt! If you are referring to this pic:
It appears to be from a very small bottle and made of glass. Is that what you are referring to? Thanks so much!

Ok you have my attention! I searched online for hours last night for ornamental hair clips and ink wells as well... I didn't do very well.

Well... the "inkbottle" ... which is what I am thinking it is... looks like a rare one... too bad it is broken...
IT COULD be a "medicine" bottle of some sort as well.

As far as your "clip" goes... it also could be from a lot of things... but if I had to "final guess it" ... I would say from a desk clip.

Key hole is def...

Looks like your on a great spot.

Oh dear goodness! Now you have me all excited and distracted from things like - WORK!!!! HAHAHA!!!! We have some other things from there as well.... These are just my favorites. Found some clay pipes with some beautiful stamps and embossing - one marked "DANENS" on the pipe stem, one on the pipe bowl has a crown with "16" under it.

Hmmmm...
I think you are beginning to feel sick...
and the doctor just told me to tell you that a nice day Metal Detecting is the only hope for your recovery. :P

Here is another find - this is older, a few months old but one of our very favorites.... Don't have a 100% ID. Forgive me if you have seen it before on here.
It was found underwater.

 

[ARC]

Andiron top... or finial of some sort.

 

[ARC]

Wow... your spot gets better and better...
Curious of what awaits to be found. Maybe some coins await

If you don't mind me asking... what detector are you using ?

 

[Marie0424]

Minelab Excal! Or as we have nicknamed it R2D2!!! hahaha

AARC, we have found two of these. Curious what your thoughts are? I know it doesn't look like much, but the one tip is so finely polished into a sharp tip, it makes us think that it must be for a purpose. Perhaps dental or medical? When we found one we were like...hmmm...then we found another and we were like - ok this has to be something!
