Its Time for Relics!

It's Time for Relics!

Spent a few hours diggin' today in a small Montana town (on private property) where at one time soldiers and farmers tossed their trash about 130 years ago.

Anyway... here is the stuff I found that I thought were keepers...

A clock, well - some of a clock. The crank/winder handle still flips up but of course will not wind. It's a pretty cool find I think!





I also found a stash of paper-thin copper stuff, with holes... no idea what it is.



Of course - no hunt is complete without a few .45-70 rounds and some lead slag.



Part of a lock plate... see where the skeleton key would have fit through?



Also found this most excellent tent-guy (tent rope tension-er), A grommet thingy, a bullet casing, and some other crappe.



And of course a "What Is It" item... it's brass, and I have no idea what it might be...



As always - thanks a ton for looking... have a great day.

MM - I forgot pictures of the horseshoe, iron cooking put handle, oil lamp globe holder, and another huge chunk-o-crappe. But just the same, it's all just old stuff.

It was pretty cool digging that clock though, piece after piece... gear after gear, I never thought I'd find it all! I was hoping to find the "hands" but couldnt.

Holy crap! Nice finds! I just found some clock parts almost identical to some of those this weekend as well! (Will post finds tomorrow).
