1 more Ag dime for ‘17

[TWray]

Thought I was going to have a cold but nice day to hit a even more popular spot of mine. I found a few Wheats and some clad and just wasn’t feeling it. I mean I can handle the cold but the wind blows. And it was blowing right through me. Anyway I toughed it out for a little bit longer and bingo! A little shine in the dirt showed. I hope this is good sign for the new year. I found a few other pieces that maybe someone can ID. 1 looks like a shotgun shell head but it’s iron. Was iron ever used? Also some kind a hook thingy made of brass and painted green. Any ideas? No biggy. Just curious. Thanks.

The ornate brass hook thingy is way cool mate. I believe the "green" is the patina from resting in some nice dirt for over 100 years. I love old green patina brass thingies. That airplane thingy is really cool too. Did you dig that as well? No idea on the rusty "iron" head stamp. I have never found an iron one to my knowledge. Silver Rosie for the win. Nice hunt for sure.

The brass object with the two screw holes looks like it may have been used to open jars or bottle caps?? Or maybe a place to hang your keyring.
The airplane thing looks like a miniature German buzz bomb. The drilled iron cap may have been a coaster for a table or chair leg?? Well that's it,, may be a little food for thought.
Congratulations on a nice hunt.

I really like the airplane item, really do. Any idea what's it made of?

Congratualtions on the nice relic hunt!

I bet that plane hit hard on the pro!

The plane fuselage is definitely in the style of a WW2 fighter aircraft. It probably has a screw hole under the cockpit for the wings to be attached? (Go find them!!!!) It appears to be modeled after a F4U Corsair but has three prop blades instead of four. It may be along the lines of a Fockewulf fw 190 also. What a cool find! Sub



Maybe part of a vintage ash tray or just a paperweight played with by a child!

I like ATW's idea on the Brass item. Looks like it was to be mounted on the wall as an opener or a hook to hang things on. You can see it is bent in the downward position. If it were straight it would be a good hook.

Nice dig! Good luck in 2018

Thanks. I actually found the airplane the day before. It is made of brass. It’s almost solid. It has no markings as to its origins. I figure it was used as a paper weight or some decorative desk piece. But it is an airplane from WWII. That means it’s only as old as that. It is pretty cool though. I would like to get back over there to see if I can find more of it. That is as soon as the weather warms a tad......Brrrrrr.

The fancy brass piece might be part of a sash lock or some other type of latch. Very nice.
