An Odd Mix

[cambria09]

Howdy. Dug my new site again, a large lot that had at least (2) 1930's? houses and a 1950's sawmill on it.

Found a variety of items including the usual clad, (3) WC's '52 '25 '18, toys, brass valve stem cap, hinge and ornate chromed pc, golf wood weight, clock parts, thimble, large brass cap, and some knuckles.

The weirdest find is the brass (not) knuckles...never found anything like this. They were so deep (over a foot) that I almost gave up on the hole. Any idea on the age of these?

Thanks for looking and good luck. C9

cool finds for sure. those knucks look to be lead, and if so could date to the civil war

FYI. The object at The top left is a pot pipe.

My guess on the knuckle duster is that it might be a rope hitch. At a foot there's bound to be some more goodies thru out. Nice collection. If there was a saw mill I'm surprised your not pulling up more iron targets.

Rough neighborhood? Nice finds, did you take a puff to see if there was anything left? lol
