There is a difference between a clad "factory" & a clad "farm"

They both will have many targets, good - bad - indifferent.

They both offer potential and usually a pretty good walk and
will almost always give up a surprise or two.

Today, I was on a favorite clad "farm".
I call them a factory if they pretty well replenish themselves.
And...no...a "farm" doesn't *grow* them back. ;)

A "farm" in my book is usually a place where something modern was
built on top of an old farm. Hopefully, without a lot of fill. They have a good
potential and tend to keep one's hopes up.

It's brass, fairly heavy and used to screw onto something. :dontknow:

Up top looks like part of a clock.

The proverbial brass ring. It really is brass and pretty solid,
no threads, no markings. But, it was one of those "I just gotta knows!!"
Over 12 inches deep too! On a HOT, BUSY, many target day! :BangHead::tongue3:

Hard to see but I believe I see ".....coin nickel silver"

Might know the "gearhead" would find a way to get
a white wall for his collection. LOL

And...lastly...Blingie has some shiny-shiny.
The ring is a solid little .925 fairly heavy for it's size.
Also....a whole wheat toast. :)

One thing is for sure, hunting either clad area will *definitely* keep one busy!
(WHEW!!!)

Thanks for peeking!

(PS: There was actually about 3 more dollars in clad. I had a small "dollar meal" celebration
on the way home. At Micky-D's :) )

Well....trying to get something back from Blingie, one needs a crowbar. But, Fishy is much more easy going. Tell Red she's welcome to the tire. :)

Yes Big Wave D That definitely is a Lamp finial. There are two sizes the small thread go on top to hold down a Shade and the larger (this one) thread screws under neath a hanging glass shade to hold it UP. These are the more rare of the finials and are currently fetching 5 - 35 Bucks each on eBay! Depending on condition and how elaborate they are. This one is About a 5 - 10ner and A nice find!

....or....could be the"control"end of a fireplace type tool....

Thanks guys! I really appreciate the hints and did. also, think finial when I first dug it.

Now.......anyone? About that rather large, thick, plain brass ring? A foot down? Worked
way to hard to get it....curious what I spent my time on. :dontknow::tongue3:

I see the spoon mark as Rogers Nickel Silver, with maybe something before it, being one of the many variations of Rogers marks.
