It was still plenty warm but I thought I'd try.

Didn't turn out too terrible although I had to stick to the shadows.

These things aren't exactly cheap and it was
underground!

The thing on the right is a hunk of lead.
The other? No clue.

Three whole wheats, slightly toasted. ;)

This puppy came out after I'd asked for a silver
to finish the day with, (I meant a silver coin! :BangHead: )

It rang up at "90" in all directions and I was very happy!
I said, "Hear we go!"

Oh well, got what I asked for, no complaints.
(Good one, Lord!)

Thanks for stopping by!

Your mystery item looks similar to some older starter mechanisms. If possible a pic of the other side of it please.

I suspect this one has been buried for quite some time. It does appear to be water tight but I can't get the battery compartment open. I figure it has, at the least, dead batteries. (Might be why I found it! LOL ) The light bulb end appears to be ok. I can get thru there. We'll see.
Thanks!

Looking a lil closer....I'm thinking, maybe, a part of a weed wacker. :dontknow:

Thanks!

Well that was a productive walk!
Nice chuncky silver ring and wheats! Congrats!
I think its a little too heavy for Blingie's neck, he'll get neck strain.

I love the flashlight! Probably still works, as long as battery acid hasn't eaten it.

I've seen that black round thing somewhere. Maybe a weed wacker like they said. Or some kind of pull starter. Funny the little black teeth along the edge sticks in my mind. :sly:

Ask and you will receive!
Its funny how we go one way and He goes down a different branch of the same path, and it always brings a smile!

I saw some of that out there too. Kinda hard to believe though. Unless this maker is "in", these days. ;)
Near as I can tell, this hallmark dates it something like pre-1972. :dontknow:

Thanks for the info!
