Hit some extremely trashy demolished home sites with the Simplex. Today’s finds.

[BABALONGOGGLES]

These sites have been hit for twenty years or so, and I definitely saw the evidence of bad etiquette. Found a bunch of iron, some toys, a bucket of warped metal and aluminum foil. This spot might be too trashy for my level of experience, but I did pull a 1918s wheat penny, some bullet casings, and some other interesting things before I was harassed by a drunk lady saying that her mama owned the property I was on (she doesn’t), but she’d be okay with it if I gave her 75% of what I found. I showed her my trash and said she was welcome to all of it. She got upset and asked me to leave. I asked her if I could do the lot adjacent and she calmed down and said that’s okay. I wished her a nice day and waited until she left to finish that lot. Not trying to get poked by any needles. Anyways, here are the more interesting finds. The lipstick tube seems to still have lipstick in it, but I can’t get it open to try it on ��. Joking. Any help identifying the last item would be appreciated.

Sorry about the orientation. The pictures don’t post correctly. Someone told me why, but I’m submitting from my phone and couldn’t get it right. I’ll try and figure it out before my next post.

I think the last item is a stem from some sort of a valve. Just a WAG, don't put to much credence in it.

Love the Standard Oil truck. It's worth turning my laptop over to look at it!

Very nice finds Baba... I love how you handled the intoxicated lady by offering here 75% of your trash!
Maybe post the last item in the What is It forum, it looks interesting.

As sandchip & Rusty mentioned, I think the star find of your hunt is the Standard Oil Truck.
I had to turn your picture though, as I'm not strong enough turn our home PC.
