One notch above squat?

ModernMiner · Feb 26, 2010

O.K., they can't all be banner days, as you can see. :tongue3:

I think I should have just slept in. :sleepy2:

Found a lock, two wheats (1914 , 1942), musket ball, suspender clip, lead seal with crown & text, etc.
Any idea what the two strange iron pieces are?
I thought the one was a faucet shut off, but it looks more primitive and forged. :dontknow:

I'll try harder on my next hunt.

Thanks Cru.
Most of these tidbits I found in the horse pasture I had plowed up last year. I'm glad there were some more things to be found. I really need to grid it off again now that has been plowed. The wheat pennies although nothing great, were at least a ray of hope that there are coins still out there. :icon_thumleft:

You did OK-no whining allowed!!! The faucet looking thing may have been part of a press of some sort. I found a brass one today. I will post next week so you will see I'm not lying about the faucet shut off.. Nice relics, Quindy.

I suspect that the top item is a dock latch of some type. Just my 2c

I agree, one notch above squat.

I, on the other hand, did squat today. :'(

I went to work. $:-\$

Of coarse I do still get a paycheck so I guess I can't complain.

Now on the other, other hand, I have four more days to work and I will be off for a week and a half. I'm going south and leave the wife and kids home. I sure hope I at least fine what you did today. I really like the lead seal. I have never found one of those.

Nice finds. :thumbsup:

LMAO!

Thanks RPG. I find a lot of those old seals, and they always seem to be on properties with RR tracks close by.
Good luck,

one of the iron pieces looks like a tea kettle that has been partially flattened.

OH, Please, Doug. You already have 1 Banner, and an honorable mention :laughing7:

I guess 1 notch above squat is better than squat :laughing9:

We all have those days at least you're not snowed in by 3 Blizzards in 1 month and have a severe case of cabin fever and depression. You'll come back with something big again , I'm sure. Take care and keep your nose clean ::)

That bottom piece with the curled end is a part to single tree, or something like that to hook a horse up to equiptment with the trace chains.

Yep,
One notch above Squat.

Of Course I did squat. But that is expected in good old Cleveland in February.

Depression - only if you haven't grown up in northern Ohio. Otherwise you are a seasoned.... um..something or other.

Looking forward to getting out but at least I'll get my taxes done.

Your finds may not be banner but you are banner in Q's eyes. The piece you are holding in your fingers may be a sky hook.

Miner those digs look like the farm field digs I have been posting !! The question is would you have stayed on the couch if you knew that was all you would find today !! I think not ! I like the lead seal ! I have not come across one yet !! The Iron faucet thingy is a T- handled door latch. Banner days are coming !! MaineRelic.
