More from the bulldozed farm site

[Blackfoot58]

Started off slow: a lot of rusty tin surrounded by broken glass, crockery, etc. Finally found a few neat items: horseshoe, square nails, electrical insulating “knob”, a buckle and a protractor to name a few. The protractor is not ferrous and has a green patina. I’d guess copper. It is very thin; amazing that it wasn’t mangled. The buckle is non-ferrous also. I’d guess brass. The license plate is 15-1/2” long. I can’t read the year. No real value but I really enjoy the history of the property.

Beats the rusty iron recoveries. Good to see you getting some non-ferrous items 👍

A nice day digging! If the semi-circle item is what you said is the protractor, it might also be part of an old clock. Sometimes you find frames like that with gears still attached.

I know what you mean, but this is a mathematical protractor. I’ve seen old ones made of copper, brass and bronze. My uncle’s dad was a pattern maker. He had a full set of copper gauges: compass, protractor, 6” ruler, etc. thanks!

Not for sure. I have it posted on the What is It? Forum. Got a couple of possibilities. Thanks

That is the answer. I looked it up on wiki. Thank you. I’m going to mark it solved with credit to you. Please post that answer on What is It? Forum. Thanks
