I think the rusty hole is a drain in the floor of the trunk.

My kit by barrelmaker Hall Sharon included instructions for proofing
the barrel, Sharon Rifle Barrel Company didn't do any proof testing of
their own before shipping the kits.

I can't remember if it was two balls and double powder or one ball and
double powder, I'm thinking it was two balls. You ran a cannon fuse
through the nipple, put the barrel in an unmounted car tire with the
breech inside the tire and the barrel resting on top of the other side
of the tire. Light the fuse and go hide behind a building. When you
hear the BOOM, go check and see if it passed the test. If it failed,
you'd only hurt the barrel and not the rest of the parts.
