some more of my stuff:
the Ft. Worth downtown found Wrought Iron Hitching post, with a wrought iron ring thru a "drifted" hole in the top, the post is around 5 feet long and stands 3' out of ground (found by my father where the Ft. Worth Water gardens is now, where the old Hells half Acre was located in early 1900s)

closeup of ring at top:

other stuff:
old coins mostly Spanish:

old Chinese Cash coins (Have maybe 30 of these just pulled a few)

old "wax sealers" most of these are express company sealers of brass:

more old clay pipes:

(the 2 white ones at top I think are fairly modern? don't know, ./.....but the grey one bottom right and the Catlin pipe in center found by me neat Cold Springs Road near a bottle dump and railroad....the unique dark glazed one bottom left, bought by me at flea market, has odd symbols and characters on it, initials, palm trees, etc)

another view of the unique glazed pipe with initials, palm tree? and cross hatching etc.

four old revolvers in my collection, I have a number of WWII long guns also as well as modern handguns, but these are the oldest revolvers, two of these would be "shooters" and two "wall hangers"
