Well, the mansion didn't give up the kitchen sink.

UPDATE: New Info.



Since the universe didn't end on 12-21-12 I gave it one more day, (just in case they made a mistake ). Then, today, I climbed out of the bomb shelter and went to the mansion for a couple hours.

Like I said, it didn't give up the sink but it did give up two of it's stoppers! Must've been a two holer!! Those rich people! LOL

Here's the take:



Maybe a fence post? The thing is about 3 pounds, the top is squarish and has a groove in the end.
The top appears to be iron, the bottom? Lead?



Brass ring? With a key and groove?






The stoppers.


I just figured scrap copper when I dug it but when I got it home I saw a design.

The other side has even more designs!








This thing seems to just be an iron/rust disk. It is a bit concave so I'll throw it in for a soak to see what happens.




Three lil pennies.


And, lastly, a BIG spoon that came out from more than 14 inches down!





I didn't think much about it, kinda neat, obviously old, I'm not familiar with the maker.
But what made this my favorite find of the day? When I turned it over, after rinsing it off,
I saw this:


Anyone familiar with this spoon?

Thanks for peeking!

HH!

Yeah, nice when they're marked, huh. This one is even more interesting to me because it came from 14 inches underground!

That scrap of metal? I posted on the "What Is It" forum and they Taz came through, if your interested. http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/what/326381-piece-metal-designs.html

Also, I'm thinking that the more fancy of the "stoppers" might really be a candle snuffer. Looks too ornate to be a sink/tub stopper, plus, it has a hole in it!

Thanks for the response!

Merry Christmas!

I think you may be right on the flatware. Just wondering, how old. Not sure how it got to be 14 inches down!

Thanks for the response!

Once I uncovered the spoon part I said to myself, "What the heck? How could a spoon last that long in the ground and be that straight?!? What's this thing made of, Kryptonite!?!?" LOL

Also, you're right on the diverse finds at this place! One day I should post all of the bullets I've found here. They are sooooo varied! Makes me wonder what went on here!

Oh yeah, I'll be going back until they run me outta there.

Merry Christmas!!

Thanks! I like it too. I'm just tossed as to whether I should try to clean it up shiny, or leave it rough to show the age.

Merry Christmas!

I found one of those spoons in Wayne County NC late last year. It was on a dirt road next to a house that had stood since prior to the Civil War.

Yours is in much better shape though!

Huh! Must've been a services issue then eh? I am still surprised at just how well this one is preserved! Must've been good soil huh.

Maybe there was a camp here sometime before the house?

Anyway, thanks!

Merry Christmas!

I'll bet one of the kids that used to live there used the spoon to dig a hole and then the Dad probably kicked it in when he was filling the hole back in.
