I was able to get out with a friend to a local park in Mesa and found a nice pile of clad. No pic of the clad as we all know what clad looks like. There was a 5 quarter spill that dated between 1967 and 1970, so you have to think there should be some silver in the park somewhere. I also found a nice US Army General service button made by the Rex Products Corp, New Rochelle, N.Y. which dates it from 1902 to WWII. I should have done before and after because it was really roached to begin with, but turned out pretty good. I also found a clad dollar coin, and lastly what I think is an antique spark plug, but any help on a correct ID would be much appreciated. The ''spark plug'' isn't threaded to screw into a head the way newer plugs are, so I just don't know. Not much, but still a fun day listening to the beeps. Thanks for looking and happy hunting.

There is a treasure trove of info from everyone on Tnet. Thanks guys.

The older spark plugs were three pieces, this piece & two metal pieces threaded together.
Nice finds!

Those are a couple of nice finds. I like the old spark plug, and the Great Seal Button.
 
I got an education on that spark plug
Congratulations on your finds.

I also got an education on the spark plug. I have never seen one like it before, ATW. Is it a little frosty up there in your neck of the woods?
