And I wonder if the piece with the patent date was well: https://patentimages.storage.googleapis.com/pages/US624470-0.png

The pipe fittings look like a 1/4" cut off valve. Is that a nozzle on the left end? Tony

Thank you for your reply! Do you think the Maltese Cross has any significance?

Thank you for your reply! I am not sure, what is on the end of it. I will try to clean it up a bit more and take a better look at it.

How close are you, I have 12 miles of private property to detect, I would have some conditions, but would love some company! Send me a pm if you are interested.

That is crazy that the piece with the date on it is part of the same type of item. They were not found together AND they are not even the same material. Great find on the patent. I don't do so well on those patent searches and I couldn't even read the date on the piece I posted. I couldn't read the year, but the May 9th was clear. Thank you for your time and for replying to my post.
