Yesterday we went out

[TORRERO]

Top of the picture is playgrounds and ball fields, bottom is the old house we were at last weekend where I got the Walking Liberty Half… a suspender buckle and clock key, and can anyone tell me how old that faucet is? Or is it a beer barrel tap ?

Two Wheats and a Roosevelt Dime from that old house.
One Wheat from an old Churchyard.

We must have done a good cleanout job of that house because we only got 2 more Wheats and that is a 1946 Roosevelt dime.

That Pocket knife and one WHEAT CENT came from a churchyard we hunted

That's a good question regarding the tap/faucet.
Clean it up, post some photos, especially the intake end.
Looking like an early faucet on that end.

Good day of hunting.
Have you updated to the 3.2 version yet?

I upgraded to the 2.9 or 3.0 version and it was very erratic so I went back to the 1.2 version but I think you have to get the 3.2 version for the new Elliptical Coil and I don’t have that yet… but I will 🤣

An excellent bunch of finds - congrats !

Some good stuff. Lots of digging.

The faucet seems to have ribs which get smaller along the inlet, like it was shoved into a hose or maybe pushed into a barrel hole, as you suggest.

I think you did outstanding !!

One of the few that is not threaded.. That's why I was asking..

That key in the lower right reminds me of a key for a old clip on roller skate or possibly old grand father clock

I think it’s for a Clock 🕰️ but not sure

I think your faucet is from an old water crock rather than a barrel tap.

What is the item at lower left? Pocketknife or maybe money clip?

Great assortment of items. I like those old clock winders. 👍🏼

 

[Gare]

I am voting Pocket knife

Never heard of a "water crock" ? any pictures ?

It is in fact a pocket knife, rusted beyond any hope of redemption, apparently it has plastic or something sides. Neither side has any type of writing on it, so no way to ID anything as far as that is concerned..

Here is one with a different spiggot design, but the short stem on yours is generally seen in thin-walled crocks.
