    this morning short hunt

    Got out this morning for a couple of hrs.

    Found another one of my mystery items (1st picture)that I have been trying to find out what they are I now have 5 of them, and there are no markings on them and found all in different locations on the Canadian side of the border.

    My oldest coin was a 1912 wheat cent

    And a bunch more don't know items.

    Thanks for looking
    HH

    Maybe this is a dumb guess... is there such a thing as decorative piece for hiding a key-hole. Looks like that thing has a hole on one side for a nail/swivel and a raised area on the opposite side to mimick a nail head.

    As dumb as it sounds thats my best shot
