New River House Site Finds

[cambria09]

Hello All. I got permission to hunt a 1940's house built right on the Indian River. The occupants are renters and have little interest in what I find...yippee!

Got some OK items: 3 WC's, some old toys, old shot shell head stamps, a 20MM cannon shell (my biggest round yet how that got in the front yard is a mystery), sash buckle, an old ornate iron hinge, and the usual clad and miscellaneous hardware.

Got permission to hunt this site anytime so I am going back today...to be continued...I hope.

Good Luck. C9

Nice finds. What is the ring spiked object? Cool head stamps too! I think you have some turn of the century UMC Co. ones there. Headstamp Database

Hello diggummup. Don't know what the ring spiked object is...posted it on the "What Is It" page but no replies yet. Wife says it's a jews harp and son says it is an automotive heating element. I think they are both wrong but I don't have any idea what it was for.

Yes the UMC CO head stamps are oldies. They turn up a lot here in central FL. I think the ole timers loved their shotguns.

Thanks for the reply and good luck. C9
