Great finds. Love the Key. I found the radiator cap from a model T a little while back. Congradulations.....
 

The Ford Model T (colloquially known as the Tin Lizzie and Flivver) is an automobile that was produced by Henry Ford's Ford Motor Company from 1908 through 1927. The Model T set 1908 as the historic year that the automobile came into popular usage. It is generally regarded as the first affordable automobile, the car that "put America on wheels"; some of this was because of Ford's innovations, including assembly line production instead of individual hand crafting, as well as the concept of paying the workers a wage proportionate to the cost of the car, so they would provide a ready made market. The first production Model T was built on September 27, 1908, at the Piquette Plant in Detroit, Michigan. The Model T was the first automobile mass produced on assembly lines with completely interchangeable parts, marketed to the middle class.

There were several cars produced or prototyped by Henry Ford from the founding of the company in 1903 until the Model T came along. Although he started with the Model A, there were not 19 production models (A through T); some were only prototypes. The production model immediately before the Model T was the Model S, an upgraded version of the company's largest success to that point, the Model N. The follow-up was the Ford Model A and not the Model U. Company publicity said this was because the new car was such a departure from the old that Henry wanted to start all over again with the letter A. As it happens, the first Plymouth car (1928), built by competitor Chrysler Corporation, was named the Model U. :read2:

Very interesting finds.
:hello: HH in 2010 :hello2:
 

I like the key, and the bell. congrats on the nice finds. thanks for sharing and hh
 

Nice finds man,

Your guys sites over there are just loaded with coins and relics. Would love to get over there and do some hunting.

HH Jer
 

nice finds again :icon_thumright: you always seem to find a bell or a bit of one :laughing7: keep up the good work
 

I am on vacation and I get bored a lot when I go out to detect next day one video ::) ::) ::)I need to return to work and am tired of detecting...in the moment. ;D ;D ;D ;D

 

I like the bell!

Key's not bad either ;D
 

Very very nice finds congrats!
 

Very cool finds. The key is most definitely a Model T key, but the car that you have shown next to it is not a Model T. The car shown is either a Model N or Model R from 1906/1907. I'm not sure which because they were very similar in appearance. N's and R's are like the older sister of a Model T and bore a very close resemblance to a "T", but they were smaller and lighter.

Cool finds at any rate....definitely suffering from cabin fever here in West Michigan!
