Not bad. I wonder if there was anything to pull off the car to get cash from. Maybe a hood ornament? I don't know the Model A well...

Unfortunately it had already been cannibalized.

Carbide Generator - managed to get the metal label off and covered it back up.

The earlier post on the antique electric has reminded me that I need some advice on the JB Colt in ground carbide generator that is at my 1896 "Progressive Farm" in south Decatur County Georgia. A google search confirms the existence of the old thing which is a galvanized steel tank dug into the ground (about 6 feet) and filled with water and carbide is dripped in and the resulting acetylene gas is piped into the house for lighting. It has not worked for many (90?) years but all the parts are there. There is a 3 foot diameter can that seems to drop into the tank trapping gas and a 3 foot funnell that seems to feed the carbide.

Didn't dig mine up: an old 3-bladed plow, nearly completely buried, near a homesite over 140 years old. Still there. Not sure I want to try to get it above ground, either.

M 4 Sherman Tank in the Chocolate Mountain manuever area in the California Desert.

This is where Patton did an extensive amount of training in the 30's and there was an IMMENSE camp...the cement foundations still exist today...it was buried.

An old steam tractor, about 10 ft. deep. Seems the farmer that gave my friend and I permission to hunt his property in Ohio, forgot to tell us about the buried tractor next to the barn. He said it blew several boiler plates and could not afford to get it fixed, so they dug a BIG hole and pushed it in (incredible strength those old farmers had).......NGE
