Sorry couldn't resist.

HA! you had me on the half cent! I'm pretty sure the threaded piece is a tire valve stem

After looking at it closer, I think your right. Thanks

Your blue and white glass was a bead on a necklace.

It looks like a piece of a shattered ganja bowl. It may have been buried there.

Could be that also although I don't see any resin not sure how I know to look for that though.

That threaded piece is a "johnny bolt" used to hold down a toilet. Nice finds.

Nice digs. I like the tootsie car.

Congrats on the finds.

From I read on the internet... the glass piece is from a marijuana pipe. GL&HH.

Not sure what the treaded piece is, but I am awful curious. I found 5 of them last week at a new site I started hunting. They are like yours, being copper or brass or bronze material, that looks to have been chrome or shiny metal plated at one time. The main threaded shank is flattened on both sides. Some of the nuts remaining appear to be copper as well. do you folks still think these are "Johnny bolts" or tire valve stems? I don't have them in front of me now, but I don't remember them being hollow or having a hole through them as a valve stem would require??

Correction; I just looked at these closer, and they do appear to be tire valve stems. They farmers must have thought they were worth hanging onto back in the day. HH

Just got home. After doing some more cleaning and probing with a tooth pick it is a valve stem.
