Chain, bolt and some kind of decorative piece

[Kevin75931]

The chain and the hook were found along the fence line of an old turn of the 20th century farm place. All that remains of the fence is small pieces of barbed wire I am finding every so often. I guess the chain and hook were used on a gate. Will go back and see if I can find hinges.

The chain is made from two different types of links.

Bolt found in same area.

Decorative piece, the jagged edge has very small rusted pieces of iron attached to it. Whatever it was attached to rusted away a long time ago.

That chain looks like the one on my old chevy stepside tailgate.

Anything you pull out of the ground is a great find! Thanks for sharing...

The old farm place dates way before chevy stepside.

The chain was found maybe 10 feet from where this old farm part was found
