found something interesting.... maybe one of you can identify... plus 1st ring

[jslayton]

So i went out to local parks area found this weird round thing. seems to go maybe on the end of something, its heavy like maybe iron ? possible some other metal...

found a RING tooo - altough not real gold, looks like it had some gold plating or paint or something.. its light looks like a childs ring, possible cooper, fake diamonds, but hey its my first ring

also pulled about 10 old style pull tabs, 3 bottle caps and 2 newer style pull tabs.

1965 quarter, 3 mangles pennies (cant tell date), 1972 penny, 1978 penny

and a remington .22 bullet.

I searched for about 2 hours. near some playground and bbq equipment.


dug about 6 inchs to get the quarter though.. he was deep..

first look i was like is that a land mine? i think its a cap to a fence post. willy

 

[SGVALLEYMAN]

Just a guess, but from the 4 attachment points it makes me think it might possibly be from a old square type of clothes line...Sorry but I can't post the picture I cropped that shows something similar for some reason,so..maybe?? but again..just a guess.
Good Luck,
Scott

could also be a cap to an outdoor light

 

[JimDon]

Part of a light. The hole is where the pull cord would be. Just my guess.

 

[Potter Poker]

I agree, possibly a part of a light. Anyway, nice finds ...PP
