Short evening hunt no coins but wide variety and one a first for me!

[CoinandRelicMan]

Stumped on the no coins in this yard but wide variety of new / old items this evening!



The first ever for me was a working LED flashlight, this one seems to be machined billet aluminum , and it is quite bright also!
Top left a 1980 Hotwheels found it in two different holes. The cab part was about 10 yards away from the wheels bottom part. On over a newer wanna be car, it seems someone has a liking for the Canary Yellow vehicles ? Below the two car a very heavy chrome plated mystery item with two holes, reminds me of a toy car bumper sort of, any ideas on what it is? Below that a mystery crushed octagonal and hollow brass item, possible valve stem cover ? Then on down a old compact this thing had to have been down a very long time when I tried to pick it out of the dirt with my finger the bottom part fell into six pieces. Next item down a half of a not sure Oxen or Bull ring, have not found any of these in at least 5 years, this yard must have some potential for some more oldies , will have to detect it again !!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Tectin' Y'alls !!

I like finding the toys, something different !!! ( plus I just like to play with them and go vroom vroom ). When I find old cars, I usually find coins. That compact tells you it's an older site and hopefully it spits out some silver for you.

Thanks for the replies !! I took the batteries out of the flashlight and they were beginning to leak out . Cleaned the flashlights battery holders contacts up with some Scotch-bright pads and inserted new batteries. Light is now at least 10X brighter it is very torch y now, will get some real use from this light =D

I was at the marina over the weekend detecting the low tide and made a similar discovery. In the muck of the low tide ground I pulled out a red aluminum LED flashlight (completely encrusted with mud). I was about to toss it, but then out of curiosity I clicked the button and to my astonishment it turned on. Judging from the corrosion on the aluminum casing I concluded it was in the ocean at least a month, talk about a well made flashlight.
Only problem was it was so corroded I couldn't open the battery compartment, no idea how the batteries are, but I figure I'll use it until the batteries die naturally then toss it in the trinkets bin.
