Friday's Finds 3-14-2025

I finally hit my new permission after work Friday. I've had the permission since April 2024, but it was overgrown with foot high weeds. The township finally cut the weeds in early December 2024, then the cold weather hit. I didn't have much time only about an hour and a half, so I took the Manticore and left the Invenio at home since that machine would have taken more time to use. I hit the area where I though the house was on the 1850's map. I should have checked the map again before I left as then I would have looked in the right spot!

Mostly iron targets. Can't wait to get back out there and look in the right place. Quarter is for size reference.

Along with two maps, 1850 and 1874, I also have an ariel view from 1939 showing the house on the property. House is gone by the 1941 ariel view.

Twisted link chain. No idea on age.

Square nut

Reminds me of a drill bit.

Random Iron

Square nails, carriage bolt, and threaded rod with square nut.

Lead

No Idea. Brass for sure.

No Idea.

Misc.

Your one deal is the thumb wheel for a lamp, a lot of times they have a maker on the wheel

Chain looks like it could be curb chain from a bridle bit.
