✅ SOLVED A folding vented panel like thing.

This piece folds together, I am not sure if that is because it is suppose to, or if after years in the ground it just folder over on itself. I am thinking it might be part of an old stove, but I am not sure. I do not know what kind of metal it is.



I am digging in the woods in East Texas (12 Miles of mostly woods) I am in Franklin County Texas on a private ranch. There was one homestead here in the early 1900's. I was told that there may have been a moonshine operation in a specific area here, but after 6 months of detecting, I see no proof of that. I found an area where I believe I have found a second and even a third homestead, but I can only base that on my findings. I only dig here in the winter months, then I boot out the renters and go back to Wisconsin!

I agree, this is part of a car, truck or tractor hood.

Are there any trace amounts of paint still on the piece, anywhere??

I don't think so, it is all rust! LOL

There you go. Looks like much remains to be found.

There are many pieces just under the leaves, The folding piece was found quite a distance from the truck itself, I was real surprised when it turned out to be a part of it!
