Well, I didn't get a chance to post my finds from last weekends' hunt, so these are a bit late in coming, but well worth the wait in my opinion! This will probably take a few postings, so please bear with me....also, there are some objects that I will need some help to identify, and I know I can always count on the good people of this site...The first item appears to some sort of axe, though it seems a bit thing, but the one edge looks to have been sharpened at one time...The next is some bottle tops, and what looks to maybe be part of a door hinge....The fourth photo is some sort of cap, or a top to something, I am not sure...the next is an iron dome which looks like some part of some farm equipment, again, all help is appreciated! The other photos are of the area in which all items were found.

Nice pile of crap! Bags, ;D just kidden ;D.First looks like a lawnmower blade piece.The rest I have no idea.Super cool cabin though.Put your hand up the chiminey and check for a stash on the inner ledge.[popular old stash location].
P.S. watch for racoons,they bite. :o

I think the dome thing is a part of some type of juicer or pitter for fruits.

A Compass Magnum 420 recently brought back to life. And an untested "in the wild" Teknetics.
Pictures #1 and #2 look like the blade off of an adz.
Picture #3 looks like a stand used to keep a hot pot, kettle, iron, or maybe some sort of tool from leaving marks on a table.
Picture #4 looks like a bent drill bit from a hand crank type drill.
Picture #5 looks like something I wouldn't even try to guess at.

Nice old cabin. I wonder if that hole in the upper right rear part, inside of the fireplace had a purpose. Cache?
