I went to set my Hog trap today, and you know I can't go into those woods with my MD. After the job was done I had 45 minutes to do some detecting, and digging. Found a few relics, and some other items. I found one that looks like a tool of some kind. Maybe some sort of plyers. Enjoy!!!!

More square nails I see! There's never a shortage of those around there, huh dad? Great finds. Like the part off the shoe.

You gotta love the smell of rusted relics. My wife did the laundry the other day and I guess I left some "relics" in my pocket and they left rust stains on one of her shirts. When I got home she told me to make sure I get all of my "relics" out of my pants before I put them in the laundry basket. I told her I was just happy that she referred to them as "relics" and not rusted junk.

Every piece you dig has a different story I look finding old stuff and my wife tell me it is junk I tell her one man junk is another mans money. Keep on detecting....mlayers

At least they will have something to inherit. Some of us get out, and try to find things that history has left for us. Its a great feeling to bring something that old back to life. Yes maybe one day my kids will inherit my collection. I feel its an honor to pass something like this down to my family. Some folks likes to leave it in the ground for everybody not to see. I feel a little different about history. It no good if you can't see it. Good luck hunting, and have a great time. Looking forward to see your post.

Looks like an old spanner wrench. We also used that similar style in the military to set fuses on artilery shells. Just a thought. And be carefull of those wild hogs ::)
