Based on finds can you date the time period?

[Holly_squirrel]

I've dug up all this stuff from my yard.. Can anyone give me an educated guess on how far back some of this stuff dates? 1800's, 1900's?



Hub and parts from metal or round wagon wheel and a part from a single tree



Hatchet, possible chisel / blacksmith tool, part of a plow blade( if any of these are wrong ID's, please share)



Tbe small I don't know pile




Front of this pictures in IDK pile... Lock?




The big I don't know thing



Big idk thing again

The circular item in your third picture is a rein guide, which dates to 19th Century...so you are in the 1800's with that

It's brass or something heavy that dont rust... Does that make sense?

Holly,

Just wanted to let you know that as I own my own property management business, I'm offering my services to help you with your treasure laden property

Great finds and keep it up, my opinion as to the time would be mid to late 19th century.

Oh you want to dig up nails with me? Lol.. There are plenty to go around. I've pulled about a hundred

Yes...It's a copper/alloy or bronze, the date I gave is correct.

Well... I've wasted a good 6 hours scrubbing a well pump. Uuhhgggggg . I never understood how it was a hub... The openings never made sense... They are square and close to the edge. Where were you when I posted it asking what it was... Lol . I spent time laboring over a hunk of trash.. Lmao

Top photo, one item looks like you have part of a single tree. Your item looks like the center of the single tree. This goes along with your rein guide, it's use to harness a horse to a wagon, buggy or farm implement. The metal rings look to me like they came off of an old wooden wagon wheel hub, with all the wood rotted away, just metal parts would be left.
Finally the other item that has been identified as an old pump part might be part of a metal hub for an automobile that had spoke wheels, but I can't find a match for it. It doesn't appear to be a buggy wheel hub to me either.

 

[Holly_squirrel]

Thank you.... Yup I'd defiantly. Say those rings are from a wooden wheel like you pictured.. Funny, one was found out front a foot from the hub/ pump thing.. The other in tbe back yard.. Tbe single tree I was aware of and found close to the reign guide.
It drives me nuts, nearly all of that was found in 20 foot by 6 foot area in my front yard... And it's still loaded with signals .. It was the dump for the barn I think .. But my husband shamed me into not digging in my front yard ... Said I look like I'm a weirdo detecting out there n told me to stop. Uuhhgggggg... He's right though, the neighbors are talking ... Lol

 

[BosnMate]

I forgot you asked about a date on the items. From the horse harness stuff would date your items from the early 1800's up into the 1920's. There were still lots of horses in use, in places up into even the 1930's. I've recently seen city scenes taken in the 1920's and there were lots of horses still pulling wagons. Every time I look at your first picture I think buggy wheel hub, but like I said, I can't match it up with anything, and even thought I've never seen one of the water pumps, and even though it looks like a hub for wooden spokes, I'll go along with the pump theory for now.

A weirdo? Tell him to go jump in a lake.

You dig where you want to, and when you make that big find, rub his nose in it.

GL.

 

[BosnMate]

I just looked at the picture again, if it looks to you like the hub is made up of two parts, and the wood spokes are rotted away, leaving the rivets rusted to the point of holding the two halves apart, then it's a buggy hub, and every time I look at it I'm more convinced. Some of the other stuff you are showing is hand forged and forge tools, all of it dating your site to turn of the century, before or after by a number of years. Certainly at least 100 years old. perhaps mush older.

Tell the neighbors that you are looking for where you buried your last nosey neighbor...
Great stuff from late 1800's and early 1900's. My family farm has alot of that stuff in the barn from back then.
Keep up the good fight!!

 

[Holly_squirrel]

Thanks everybody.... The neighbors house and barn... Which sat in my front yard... Was 200 years old.... It burnt down last year in a storm



Many old blast furnaces dating from early 1700's are close by. And Ben Franklin Stayed at a preserved historic site at tbe end of my hill. History all around... I love it

with the rein guide and single tree yoke and wagon hub found scattered all over , it makes me wonder if that was a pretty active farm yard .
i know we tried before to find a match to your wagon hub and could not a exact match we did find some close , and back then it was not like today where the auto parts you buy come from a handful of manufacturers , and let alone patten copy rights,,lol so there are countless thousands of designs . i also researched some on water pumps , and the old hand pumps that i found did not have a intake with screen , they used bypass flaps and plungers .
here is the closest picture i could find of the single tree yolk dates from the early 1800's
and lastly here is a link to a website that still makes reproduction wagon wheels .
Wagon Wheels, Wood Wagon Wheels, Handmade Wagon Wheels

its real hard to date these items because the wagons seemed to boom in the early 1700's with the conestoga in Pa , when settlers started crossing the Appalachains then the last wagon producer shut their doors in 1952 "the springfiled wagon company " in fayettville Ark, but id say its safe to say its from the 1800,s.

 

[CRUSADER]

Agreed the rein guide, normally brass are circa late 19th C

I'm excited about the rein guide. I think Bigfoot meant a more modern day well pump.. Cause I initially I thought it had something to do with plumbing as well, until I was shown the wheel hubs.. And I did find one if those rings close by...
