| Small Mystery Bird Find (Quarters for size comparison) |
This find has also been sitting around for a while. It needed a good cleaning,which I did last night. I wish I took a photo before I cleaned it because it had some unusually bright green/blue corrosion on spots.

I don't remember where I found this one. I wish I did. Labeling finds shortly after finding them is a good idea.
I don't know what it is. I'm guessing that it is plated pot metal from how it rubs on a touch stone, but I don't have any good test acid right now.
I think the next photo could be a key to figuring it out. The bottom is cup shaped, looking very much like it was on something at one time.

It is very heavy for the size. It feels like lead maybe.
I'm hoping somebody can recognize this object. I might have to take it to get it tested. I doubt it is gold, but maybe plated.

Body of a woman is discovered among the remains of 25 warrior monks of the Order of Calatrava in Guadalajara...Of the 25 skeletons studied, 23 showed marks compatible with violent death. These were mainly penetrating puncture wounds and blunt force injuries and were found on the parts of the body that were most vulnerable to and unprotected from the weapons of the time. “We observed many lesions on the upper part of the skull, the cheeks and the inner part of the pelvis, which is consistent with the hypothesis that we are dealing with warriors,” explains Rissech. It was by studying the bone proportions that she realised that among the warriors there was a woman.
Typically, the skeletons of men and women have specific characteristics that differentiate them. “The morphology of the facial bones and the pelvis, are the most obvious examples,” explains Rissech. In some individuals, these characteristics may not be decisive when it comes to determining sex, but in the case of these remains there was little room for error. Who was this woman? Was she part of the order? Did she have the same status as the other knights?..

I found this reddish tube. It is something like a big lipstick tube. I had not idea what it was when I found it. I thought the design on the top looked like it must be from the 1950s or something like that.

I just looked it up and found out what it is. For mature audiences only.
Here is the link.
It looks like it is still sold.
