Junk day

[mumszie]

For all you gng's that go to other to more than one forum, you've probably already seen this but.... Well my husband isn't feeling well so I didn't want to leave the house but I really REALLY wanted to go hunting so..... I decided to have a look around the ole' homestead. Found a bunch of junk but no money.

A wheel - looks like it came off a childs baby buggy?
A small washpan
An axe
A piece of chain
A piece of a car spring - I think
A Mason jar lid
The top part of a tube
and some odds and ends... all in all it was a really nice day.
You can take a look at the BH forum so I don't waste space posting them here as well.

and if that doesn't work go to the Bounty Hunter site at Detecting.com click on bulletin board and then click on "Nice Day for Junk" See if that works.

The detecing.com one worked, just gotta sign in I would say that was a good day of finds, that wagon wheel looks like its from an old toy wagon, the thing to the right of it is a cotter pin, the thing that you" havent a clue what it is" is a ford part, clean it up and it should say ford on it in cursive letters, i think the small washpan is made out of enamelware or soemthing? that whatsit is pretty neat too. and yep, that looks like a bullet casing. Alot better than findign clad i would say Is it a dumpsite you were digging? there may be some nice old bottles there too

 

[mumszie]

Yes, the pan is one of those old enamel ones.? I used to use a much larger one for dishes... guess that tells my age!? ?? This is my back yard actually but who knows... it might have been a dump site at one time.? It is a heavily wooded property.? There are so many trees that grass just will not grow.

A Ford part?? Really?? It's not very big.... about 2 inches long and 1-1/2 inches across.? I actually put it up to the monitor and it is the exact size that it looks like on the screen. It kind of looks like it might be brass but then I don't know much about metals.? There are no letters or names on it. I looked at it under a magnifying glass and can see no markings at all.

This is the front - close up

and the back - close up

HISTORY...HISTORY...HISTORY...not junk!!Thank's MUMZ!!!...HH

 

[JakePhelps]

that is definetly a car part, I have one that says ford on it and one that doesnt, so i guess it might be a generic one Still have no clue as to what they went on...maybe something to do with the battery? they are copper or maybe brass.

Nice finds there mumszie!

I can really relate to the fruit jar lid. The folks who lived here must have canned for the whole community. I've lost track of the number of old zinc lids I've dug on our own property.

Mumszie, Don't ever call your junk junk.....We prefer the term....Junque. Always capitalize it. It makes it much more important!
