My old 1906 Grammar School

[tabdog]

It was called Lee School.

Here you can see tha rock wall that went all tha way
around tha block.

As a mater of fact, there was a town here around tha
turn of tha century called Lee. Tha old Lee Theater
still stands accross tha street.

When I was a kid, I could walk tha half mile from my
house to tha Lee Theater and watch movies for a
dime.

Lee was incorporated into Little Rock before I was
born.

The school is now called tha:

Willie L. Hinton Neighborhood Rescue Center.

Using my Vaquero, I found an old Lee button.

Then I found this whatzit. It seems ta be made of
brass and alloy metals. Probably copper and tin. It
Is threaded on tha inside. It was 7” deep.

Then I found this WW II era pin. Says “ Remember
Pearl Harbor ". I think this is cool. It was close to 7”
deep also. Everything is deep because it has been
filled over.

I tell ya, I was freezing my buns off.

I was about to leave and I found this real old ring.

Here’s tha whole shootin match. Not many recoveries,
but I found some neat stuff. No old coins, darn-it.

Hope yaw enjoyed goin back ta grammar school with
me. It was a trip down memory lane for me.

I sure had a good time,

Tabdog

I really like the 'Remember Pearl Harbor' pin.

The item with the threaded inside looks like the handle to a screwdriver. They sold small pocket tool sets at schools for fund raisers. The modern ones are plastic but the old ones were metal.

Cool stuff. . . that pearl Harbor pin is awesome!

That threaded tubular "what's it" I think is an old valve stem cap for an old car or truck tire. . . pre WWII.

Best wishes to you & family this Holiday!

Watercolor nailed it, it IS an old valve stem cover, usually found on cars and trucks from the 20' to 30's.........NGE

Great finds Tabdog. If the hospital buys Ray Winder field to make a parking lot out of, do you reckin they will let us detect the grounds when the raze itd2

Cool finds Its really funny you show the old valve stem cover because I also found one in a park on Monday. I've been looking at it trying to figure out what it was, and now I know

Cool finds hope you get to hunt the area more.

Great post & pictures. Congrats on the finds.
I was told that threaded tube piece is a valve stem cap from a model A Ford. Does yours say "Schrader" down on the bottom (open end)?
I've found 3 or 4 of those.

Nice post, real nice pictures & finds! I'm glad that you found that "whatsit" I have found several & didn't know what they were, now I do, thanks for posting!

 

[crazyjarhead]

Model A it is. I have found 2. Nice finds tabdog.

I'm pretty sure that old Lee button is for Lee jeans. But I really enjoyed your other finds just the same. The info about the old theater is interesting as well as the photo. I like old. I am getting old. I guess that's why? Monty

Who needs old coins when you have that great pin and ring - congrats TD...

 

[tabdog]

Thanks fellas.

I enjoyed it.

Hay D2, you just made me realise.

If tha State hospital gets it, they will

not let anyone detect it.

I need to get out there now, before it's

too late,

Tabdog
