What Didn't go wrong Today ?

Email'd DKinPA this morning
To Meet me at Klingerstown Park.
The carnival ended Saturday So
I Figured we could Do the Parking lot area while
the Carnies Etc. were Packin up for the Year.

Got 2/3 of the way there & Get a call
from him. Cannons in the Parking area
& People all over. Must have had a re-enactment,
So I Decided we would
Either go to a One room school house or
Gratz Fairgrounds. sent DK To check the School For
Mowed Grass while I Caught up & would meet him
By the fairgrounds.

By the time I Got to the Fairgrounds I see there is
some type of tractor show there so that's out.

DK Pulls in says the school yard's
Mowed but the place we need to ask Permission
is closed, so we decide on
My old standby site.

Get there & 2 Family reunions going on there,
So we drive to the Back Corner
where we are out of their View & I Turn
My detector on & my Recharble is dead.
So I Replace it with my Backup,
which lasted about 2 Hours.

My finds

39 Cents Gas Rebate



Unknown.
Thought it was Packed with Dirt But
had Cloth in it.
Whole thing is Slightly smaller then
a Money Clip.



Also Unknown. Plug

there are No holes in this anywhere



a 1944 Wheat


and a Money Clip.



Unfortunately the Loser
Didn't remember to Leave their 20's in it.

Your unknown is a wick from a oil lantern, I think....or some kind of Wick. However sounds kinda big.

Keep @ it and HH!!

Sorry you had a bad day Jeff! I hate days like that.....you wait all week to get out and all of your productive places have events going on! Very frustrating.....I feel your pain! Hopefully, you'll find some goodies after they go away!

HH,

Are you sure what you think is weld is not the end of a ball.
It looks like a manually operated relief valve to me.

I Suppose it is Possable John

If the Ball is damaged, and froze fast somehow
from rust

Well you did better than me. Found lots of vintage pulltabs and one 2000 Lincoln cent.

How does it go? A bad day treasure hunting is better than a good day working. Time has not been on my side for detecting. Congrats on getting out!

Re: What Didn't go wrong Today ?

I am pretty sure the square thing with the cloth in it is a piece of an older cigarette lighter. I have found some similar that have a removable, undecorated center box with a coarse piece of cloth inside to hold the butane.

I'll try to find a picture.

Kinda reminds me of one of the valves on old radiators.

Re: What Didn't go wrong Today ?

Jeff, That unknown is not unknown to me.....I have seen plenty of them.....in the military. That is one of the ends off a grenade.
The threaded end screws into the round portion of the grenade that blows up and makes 100s of little pieces of metal shards that can hurt a person. The pin of the grenade is missing......have found a few of those in Korea.....they were used to take care of business.
Sorry about how the day went......this last Saturday I went out, going to hike to find a marked trail going over a range of mts.....find many old coins and artifacts where the traders went over the hills/mts. Didn't read my map right, and ended up going on very, very long, hard, hot hike. Did get to the top of the mts, but found absolutely zero. But, I did get out of the
house, and out from underfoot of the misses......and didn't have to do any Sat. cleaning, if you know what I mean.

Re: What Didn't go wrong Today ?

Those days happen...at least you took your detector, which on one occasion I left it in the driveway and drove over 40 miles before I remembered!! Still a day out with a friend was worth the frustration...........a few days later anyways!!
