5 more hours in the city woods. You never know what will pop from the dirt.

2” diameter, solid brass (heavy) ball, no hole or attachment point. Maybe a mill ball of some sort.

No mfg marks, but think it is a vintage motorcycle light cover.

Nice finds Thad.

I snuck out yesterday for the first time in two weeks.

Getting my butt kicked with this roof project. I'm on the home stretch now.

Had a big silver day yesterday even though I was physically beat. Felt good to get out.

Good stuff!! The brass ball is probably a check ball from an old pump.

Nice assortment Thad. If you can find a pile of those brass mill balls, you will have nice payday at the scrap yard.

Cool stuff! If that was a check ball I would think it would be smoother. IDK though, you never know how it got there and what happened in between. I think they used brass balls in some black powder mills too.
