Powder flask?

[BuckHill]

Happy Easter Swingers! Today I followed a stone wall into the woods only to find a cellar hole I never knew about. The hole is not on any maps or history of the area. I think one find may be a powder horn with some leather still attached. Also another oxen shoe and axe head.

It's 100% either a powder flask or a shot flask. Let's see the top end.

The two brass pieces come apart and where dug separated, I will post them apart

Thanks Rebel. It's amazing how many shotgun brass and such I dig around here. The woodcutters apparently lived off the land killing squirrels and rabbits
