Thimble & lock.. but how old?
I found these things near the Ox Hill battlefield in Va. Found a .58 three ringer too.
Found this "Mail" lock about 8" under ground. It still has some grey enamel left. I figure it is from the 50's or even 60's. This thimble looks pretty old to me. It's a paper thin brass or copper. It could easily crush in an collapse if squeezed.
The last thing here looks like a modern bullet's metal jacket.
