A couple quickies into the woods lead to a handful of targets. ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1508953629.517563.webp Mix of old and newer items. These are my favorites.

Any ideas what I have with these 2 items?ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1508953781.027698.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1508953790.876352.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1508953799.448930.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1508953809.633587.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1508953817.229275.webp
Felt like I was being watched.ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1508953841.919664.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1508953849.750579.webp Also brought home a couple hangers on with me... they're back...ImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1508953888.553406.webpImageUploadedByTreasureNet.com1508953896.819067.webp

Thanks for looking and any ideas on ID's. Heading to Vegas tomorrow, so no detecting for a while, but wish me luck...

Good luck out there!

I know that the item with the hook on it is an ice box latch!

Carolina Tom gets one right! DCMatt & NHBENZ aint got nothing on me.

Here is the one I found, and ran through the tumbler. Could not figure out what it was until I saw an antique ice box with one on it. Just in case there is any doubt about it, I attached a pic from the net of the handle and keeper.

PS: That swim tag is really sweet IMO.

Thanks for the quick ID! Man, they made their ice box latches really sturdy, this thing could be used as a hitch to pull a car... I've found several of these swim tags in the woods around this pool over the last 2 years. I have not seen many other old swim tags posted, maybe this was unique to this pool.

Nice finds. Be careful with the ticks. I have been taking Doxycycline for three weeks now for Lyme.

I'm with you on the tick caution. I had the Lyme a couple years ago, got into my neck joints, couldn't move. The Doxycycline made me ill, but still pop a couple if I get a tick now as a prophylactic. Wouldn't want to go through that again. Hang in there! The dangers of detecting in the North East...
 

WHATS THE VDI ON THE TICK, NICE FINDS
 

Great stuff, Pa-dirt...lovely old relics, I like digging things that make you scratch your head..Kudos to Tom in CA for a positive i.d...nice kitty! I've been...tracked by a few in my day, some keep their distance and some stop over to welcome me in...mite be the tuna fish sammich in my pocket..and those STINKIN' ticks!?....ugh, nothing more disgusting than something that latches on and sucks the life out of you... (ex-wife?)...ha. thx for sharing...Ddf

Congrats on your finds. That latch is a nice old relic find.
