Several unidentified items found on old farm, and 1st ring of August!

[jeffafd]

I have several items that I am unsure about that I rescued today..... There is a cool old center cap? from Ford, not sure if it was car or tractor if anyone knows. Also a couple items I'm guessing are from maybe an old oil lamp? Ring with some strange notches on reverse. Old bullets and my first ring of August (stamped Sterling ->U<- Made in U.S.A).

Cool Finds

That was a Ford Hubcap. Possibly Model T

Thanks for your help, Model T's would fit the property, we do have a carriage house that was built around 1915-1920, but so far I haven't found much near/around it.

watch for the Keys too

Looks like you are in the right place!

I also agree that the Ford hubcap is from a Model T.

I believe you are right, found this one looks real similar 1913-1916.

Still curious to find out what these are, could they be bullets?

I was thinking the same thing, until I found the large round cover in the same pic, you can see one attached to it, must be similar to a wingnut.

Last pic is two modern pistol bullets and two fired round balls. If you could measure them with a calper we might be able to give you a positive id

yep , no doubt bullets.

Unless you have strange Ground,
or cleaned them with Oil or something abbrasive,
I'm going to guess The Bottom two Round Balls
are Modern.

They don't have the White Powdery Patina Lead gets, when in the ground for a Hundred or so years.

The top Two Bullets, are not real old either.
Comparing to the Round ball size in Pic, Small Caliber,
But not sure if 22 or ? from pic they look like they could be slightly Larger Caliber
