A Few Things From a Nearby Ghost Town

[oldmxrat]

Went for a little hunt today with a friend from the neighborhood. His 75th birthday and all he wanted was to go out and swing his detector.
We went to this little ghost town thats only 5 minutes from our houses. It's been beat to death by detectorists and bottle diggers but still gives up a thing or two once in a while.
Pulled my first ox knob!

Also got a mystery brass item (maybe a lock? ), a couple of pocket knife parts, a pocket watch mainspring gear, and a 1935 wheatie next to one of the bottle digger holes.

My friend didn't find anything unfortunately, but was happy just to get out.
I felt bad for him so I bought him a nice lunch.

Is that a ox knob ? Has the pin holes like ones I've recovered

Good job my friend, it's always satisfying to find something old, and even more a piece like that. Congratulations

Getting a first is always a good day of digging.

Buying the him the 75th Birthday lunch was the best sharing of day.

You know what? it does not matter if your find anything at all? At the end of day your out there doing some thing escaping away from all troubles in world. And just with that your a lucky person in the world. Better to be doing some thing than just waiting for God. Cheer for buying your friend lunch.

I've dug literally hundreds of ox shoes here, but never seen an ox knob or heard of anyone around here finding one.
Coppers? Nope, none of those either.
