Old site keeps on giving.

Lovely day today. Went out for a couple of hours before dark. Found a few things. Mostly rusted stuff. But they are very interesting. Few things I"m not sure what they are. So any advise welcome.

In this picture is a mower blade, sardine can opener, shotgun end cap (Winchester NUBLACK No. 12), and a rusted nut.

This is a very interesting piece, not sure what it is or what it goes to. At the top it has a flap folded over, very fancy decoration on it. Flowers, stems, leaves and in between is very shinny, not sure if that is silver.

The next three pictures are two pieces that are alike except one is thinker then the other, they do have one stud on them, the other is missing. I'm not sure if they are suppose to be some kind of animal or are suppose to go like the last picture suppose to be brackets for something.

THanks for looking.

Nice Finds KW. Those mower sections were used on sickle mowers on horse drawn mowers too and held onto the mower bar with rivets. They are "heartstoppers" as they sound a lot better than they are on your detector because of the triangular shape. In the last 15 years, disc mowers have taken over the hay mower market but sickle mowers are still made. HH.

Thank you Vol. Most of the things I'm finding including wire and some nails are giving me good reading on the detector. Hoping for that good beeb to show silver one of these times.

Thank you bigcypresshunter. Mine does look something like that. It's just the nip and slot on the sides got me stupped. It's like they hook to other ones to make a string of suspenders maybe.
