But i did Find This

[G.A.P.metal]

I went hunting with the Inspector the other day...he found good stuff...i found this.
Hood Ornament,chrome is mostly gone i`m not to sure but maybe Plymouth 50 s early 60 s ?
That`s all i could fit into my pouch...weight wise... heavy sucker.
When they started to lighten up the older cars this must have been the first to go 12 pounds.
I kinda like it now !

I don`t know for sure...at first i thought Plymouth,but it looks like a rocket...i think Olds used to make a Rocket model .

Hi Gary..........1950s Mercury Jet hood ornament. Very nice find. Check around, it's probably not too expensive to have it re-chromed. Nice find.

 

[Inspector]

Very cool find Gary. I had forgot you found that, but now I know why you wanted me to carry your gear the last 100 yds. 12#'s get heavy after awhile.
