I found these old chain links at the top of LAUERL HILL with my GARRET
these are very old
what kind of iron are these?
are they worth anything
I seen similar ones on google for 500 bucks or so
but who knows
these are pretty old

I found some stuff they left

check out a video of me unearthing the chains

I learn something every day. I had no idea they had coated chains back then. Almost looks like they were chromed at one time. What did they coat the chains with? You are hitting the mother lode on chains and such.

both sir
I just found them
I have no clue about wagons
I was looking for the lost gold on lauerl hill
but found these instead
 

Good luck finding the gold. Hope you find buckets full and have to use the chains to pull it up the hill.
And if you need any help carrying the gold, I am available and have a strong back.
 

interesting

Electric Welded links were first patented in 1938
They look older i5 was covered in 150 years of dirt when I unearthed it and it's getting cleaner
