Weekend Finds

[cambria09]

Howdy All. Dug a turn of the last century train station and a 1950's house for these finds. Kinda slim pickens but I did manage a '41 wheatie, a Jag (always wanted one), a cool button, and three lead tags.

The tags are from the Florida East Coast Line. Also found some misc clad, old water faucet, splitting wedge and the usual bullets, caps etc.

Thanks for looking and HHTA.

In the fourth and fifth pictures down, what's are those things? I have found a few of those that had the name of the town I used to live in stamped on them so I'm assuming they are some sort of railroad relic? Can you enlighten me please?

Hello Silverfinder99. Thanks for the reply. Yes they are RR related but I don't know what they are. Post them on the Whatzit forum so maybe someone will reply. C9

Lol, I guess I should have read you're post before looking at pictures. But anyways you said they were tags, but tags to what? What was there purpose?

I dug that same type purple car last fall. I still have it in my collection of cars that I find that are still good. Mine had all four sets of wheels

I have no idea what those crown cap things are, but they do look railroadia to me. Not 100% sure though. Nice finds.

I am thinking the crown type items. Lead seals

FEC refers to Florida East Coast Railroad
