    Out with my metal detector . I live in an old community in the Catskill Mt.. About 300 yards from my place was a Civil War training camp , I'm not saying this was part of it ? Can't go detecting in my area any longer , NYC watershed won't let anyone go detecting on city land and I'm almost 300 mi. north of the city

    I thought maybe a maple sap funnel. Is the long skinny tube hollow? And the wire hook for hanging the bucket from.

    small end of cone inserted into the tree (hole drilled) large sealed end is for tapping it in the hole, sap runs through the cone ,down the tube into the bucket which hangs on the tube.... Now that I know what it is . I've tapped trees with other types

    @kenv1950 ....Thanks for the explanation... it is clear now...did not realize the long tube was hollow....I have seen tapped maple trees, just not with that type of implement. Cheers, RickO
