Old Beer Barrel Tap

[West Jersey Detecting]

Checked out a new site yesterday with Jersey Ben...an Old farm site. It was pretty void of signals, but I did manage a 1902 Indian Head and one of my nicer old barrel taps.

That is most certainly not a barrel tap. It is a gas valve from a wall sconce or chandelier.

I was waiting for you to chime in, yup, not a beer tap or any barrel tap of any kind, gas valve it is..........

Yes he did, and you agreed, I agreed also, just did not post, but I did do some searches on TNet and saw that Buckles previously was involved with IDing barrel taps versus gas valves and was hoping he would reply, since he now has, I "jumped on the bandwagon". You notice that many still congratulated for finding a beer tap despite Jim saying Gas Valve and Neil wiggling on the ID.

I did notice that's why I suggested a change of title

Cool find!! I image a collector would be interested in that!

Neil: Way more excitement now than when it was found; that field was underwhelming for sure!

Very unique find!

Nothing like a little controversy to keep a post going!

Where's the controversy, other than the title
