As rusty as that stuff is, it's gotta be kind of old. Prolly at least as old as I am. Hey, I find that kind of stuff all the time. The good stuff is out there amongst the rust, keep looking. I get teased by my wife about all the pull tabs, but just wait until one of those turns out to be a nice diamond ring, then we'll see what she says. Keep swinging, low and slow, it's there.

LOL, I did find a beauty of a diamond ring last year, it was inscribed with first names and the date of the wedding. I spent HOURS and HOURS trying to find the owner, checking every lost and found site I could find, posted it on my blog, craigslist, ringfinders and etc. I was totally obsessed with finding the owner, about drove myself nuts!

You can read the outcome on my blog if you are interested: as far as finding things, I will take a piece of rusty junk over and inscribed ring any day! LOL
Thanks for your encouragement and taking the time to reply.

some of that rusty "junk",has the blacksmiths mark on em and has become quite a trail of my research along with my mentors

The piece with the hole looks like it could be part of a butt plate for a musket.

HH!!

The triangular thing with the hole might be a lock cover. You should check out the forum on cleaning/electrolysis. You will get a lot more detail out of your "rusty" items and might come away with a nice makers mark.

I will have to look into something to try and get this stuff clean, thank you for the suggestion!

Tell your husband my husband understands fully- I am always dragging home junk! I like the floral thing!

We don't find junk here on Tnet. We might collect some "junque" and "crappe' " at times but no junk! Monty

[cdsieg]

Thanks, Bev for the moral support!
