Finally got a B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L day (clear, 60sF), so I spent a few hours at my permission.
Aside from a fistful of rusty nails (I tossed all but the really old square ones, which I'm saving for the big presentation at the end) I found a few artifacts. IDK what they all are, but they seemed kinda different than what I usually see on YT.
Top Left: Iron caster, TID low 70s. I'm guessing from the style of wheel and accumulated rust that it's... not recent.
Top Right: Decorative casting--broken, TID 90. Appears to be pot metal, but at one time was painted/plated gold, some of which can still be seen.
Middle Left: Metal bead(?) TID low 80s. At first I thought this was a musket ball or similar, but after cleaning, it turned out to be what looks like a metal bead, 0.34" dia. at widest point; hole is 0.25" dia. smooth bore. Metal is non-magnetic, not brass, no corrosion.
Middle: Painted brass tab off of... something.
Bottom: Animal bone. It was in the hole. Owner is a veterinarian; she'll either love it or hate it.
