where's the car? pic added

yesterday i went back to the area i found the v nickel in. i had found something earlier in the week that i just couldn't remove from the ground. well, my dad came out back to see how i was doing. i showed him the hole where the object was... he tried to get it out. finally he cut a root out of the way and was able to remove it. it was a RI license plate from 1938. no idea where the car is lol
i ended up digging alot more nails and barbed wire, and pieces of pipe :P but the license plate was cool tho.can anyone help me identify the doodad pictured below the plate? there was a barbed wire fence there at one time... could it have something to do with that

That must have been a heck of a big beep.....

Hey Pookie, that would be cool to find a license plate from the 30's! I hope it's in good enough shape to display!

Congrats!!

yea it was a BIG beep. my machine was going absolutely nuts. lol.
there was a major hurricane that hit new england in 1938, so its possible that had something to do with it no idea.

That's a good theory about the '38 Hurricane. From some of the books I've read about my home town, I know that storm did some serious damage. I can certainly see a plate getting ripped off a car and landing in a field somewhere. (or, an entire car for that matter !!!).

Makes a good story !!!!!

Sometimes, you just have to dig those HUGE beeps just out of curiosity....

Good job.
