These finds are absolutely awesome Steve, very jealous! Lots of fantastic Sten parts in the first pic you posted.

Well I dont recognise the water can but will have a good look at some ref books.
OK, the top set of mystery items show a Badly corroded Lee Enfield Bolt at top and 3rd down (3rd down is a No.4 item with bolt head). 2nd down is a Falling block from a Martini Henry or Martini Enfield, probably Mk3.
The next set of items include a spent link shute from a Browning M2 .50 cal
I'll go and check on the other bits. Back in a mo.

The item below the 1907 ptn bayonet is a cleaning rod for the .30 cal browning 1919A4
Cool, thanks, I had no I wasn't too sure if that's what it was.
Are you sure that is a 1907 ptn bayonet, then end looks very much like the eagle head of the k98's etc. After a lot of looking online, it looks a bit like the Czech Mauser bayonet. But, I'm very unsure. I will post some good pics once its cleaned up.

Hi Guys,
Cant keep me away for long...... Im enjoying this theres some great finds being shown and cleaniing going on. I think a lot of my finds will have been identified through your posts by the time I return. But as of yet I have a few finds Ive not seen shown so far I'll post on return. WH you've done a good job cleaning that water can it looks ready to accept the paint. For M3s benefit these cans are about half the size of a standard jerry can about the same capacity as the smaller rectangular oil or fuel cans you see used for cooling on Lewis guns. DM the bayonet looks a little too small for a K98 to me but K98 bayo's are common so Id be pleased with M3s id of a 1907 ptn.
Anyways keep up the good work and will look forward to dropping in again to see the next offerings. Seeing all these I want to dive into cleaning mine
