    These were dug up around dollar lake in Nova Scotia. Trying to identify what these went to. They seem to be similar to the burner tubes of some of these old pressure lamps. Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @Isaac Redding and Welcome!

    interesting finds?

    burner tubes are usually hollow?

    they wouldn’t be the remains of some sort of munition? they remind me of fuzes a bit?

    cheers

    Right, could be some type of brass fuse for an old munition or something possibly. It just got my curiosity going haha
