Ron . I'm betting you find a gold coin before I find my next Merc .
If that happens then I will drive out to SSF and buy you dinner for the good mojo you just sent me!!

Are those round things flask lids or gun nipple protectors?
Yeah- the flask was pretty exciting to find!!
The round things are lids/caps off old tins.
Some will have writing on them and they were for the rifle powder tins and other tin canister type items.
The tin usually rusts away and sometime you only find the cap but on this trip I found the alloy spout and the cap still together.
Here are the tops --no writing on these "black powder stoppers" 1860's+

Fantastic! Was wondering what happened to you, Ron! Thought you had a bad beat at the tables in Vegas & had to pawn your CTX

Awesome!
That lock is Bad ass.
When you tumble the caps, can you post a close up of the writing?
Love that kind of stuff.
Even typeface was elegant back then.
The red cans are beautiful too! Specially that last one.
