    Unknown Object found at Cellar Hole

    Hi, found this brass object a while ago at one of my top cellars and I haven't yet been successfully able to identify it. If I remember clearly it rang up a mid tone hitting 60s and 70s on my Garrett AT Pro.

    If you need any additional information I'd be glad to give it to you.

    Interesting. It almost looks like a pen nib, but if so it sure is a big one.

    It does look like a pen nib, a big one though. Could it be some sort of compass edge?

    It really does look like a pen nib, doesn't it? Perhaps a 19th century sharpie for labeling crates?

    What you have there is a ramrod pipe. Awesome score! Now go find the rest of the musket!
