HAS ANY TREASURE HUNTER EVER FOUND A COIN OR ARTIFACT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN FROM

[jimb]

Just looking over some old finds and wondering if any treasure hunter out there has ever found something that just does not fit. Something that may be from a lost civilization. perhaps a coin with unknown writing. If you have please post a photo and we will all try to figure it out.

The first item is part of timer control on a G.E. washer from a laundromat.

Are you sure or r u just guessing? 15 minute timer? Please let us know.

The aluminum counter was part of an old tv tuner, or radio selector. Wish I could remember which one. Played with one for some time off one I took apart for parts as a kid.

R u sure? lol

Has anyone PM'd him yet to find out if this was the solution? I'd love to be able to find my sanity again after reading all 1,000,000,000,000,000 post guesses on that item!

Hey Timmy, someone said Native American but after looking at alot of pics I want say it looks much older than that, Im thinking it looks aztec, copy or real cool find anyway.

What is really amazing is that we have spent thousand's of man hours and 10 pages of posts examining, studying, researching, putting under a microscope, and just plain searching for the answers to the mystery of pigmanns nuts.

Here is the link for those that are totally confused up to this point. PLEASE do NOT post in this link

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Sports tire valve stem caps. The other is a timer detent ring from a Hansen syncronon motor.

 

[greengorilla]

That should have been a ? after valve stem caps.
The timers were used on antimated neon signs to drive switches.

Lol I've spent HOURS reading about those nuts things... even before I became member here. Now I have to dig up the posts about this timer thing to know about the other big mystery here on t-net, lol.

That was my thought but how do they fasten.

Nope. the octagon nuts are not open on either end.


Do you have a pic of this Hansen syncronon motor detent ring, or did you just make it up?


ADDED: I googled a picture of the Hansen motor in question used in hydrophonics and here is the pic:
I say not even close. Do you have a different pic, greengorilla?

Re: HAS ANY TREASURE HUNTER EVER FOUND A COIN OR ARTIFACT THAT COULD HAVE BEEN F

Bigcypresshunter I have worked on several old neon animation timers that use the Hansen motor for a driver for the counter drives. They work as a clockwork type mech. when one gets to the end of it's cog run it starts the next run with a pin drive, the pins come around and depress a lever on a momentary contact switch. The motor you are showing looks like a drive motor for a jukebox pilaster animation wheel. They produced timer drive motors for a lot of amusement devices such as jukes, pinball machines, clocks, lighting that changed colors, barber poles etc. Great little motors and they had a wide range of timing options.
The nutts are solid?

I googled your "Hanson syncronon (syncron, syncronous) motor" and that pic was what came back. The links claim they are used in hydrophonics. ( its just a simple timer motor) http://www.hansen-motor.com/synchindex.html

Sounds like jibberish, but if you really believe you are correct, or you have another Hanson motor picture, by all means please post it for all to see. Why would this old neon animation timer be in increments of 15? If you solve this, you will be a TN hero, but a picture will be necessary to convince me... sorry.


The pignutts are hollow, but have no open ends. They are also octagon and NOT hexagon. They look just like Gonjji stones but metal. A lot to read, I realize.
