Trash and Treasure.

A few Items I found this week along with about about $3 in clad.
Had 4 yr old granddaughter with me. Quick Study. Every time foil beeped she would yell "BAD SOUND" When the high pitch went off "GOOD SOUND!" LETS DIG!" of COURSE she got to keep the clad.

Looking in an Antique store today and found out that the thing that looks like a faucet is acutally a Barrell Tap. Its for driving into the bung hole on
wine cask to draw the libations! Now I might be able to date it.

:shock: Ouch!!! :shock: Be careful if you decide to drive that thing into the bung hole! Great finds! And great story about your granddaughter! I just got started in this hobby, and my kids enjoy going out with me. One holds the digging equipment, the other keeps the "treasures" we dig up. Works out pretty well, for now!

(LOL) Now now, I did say a wine cask! But I do get your meaning .
Metal detecting can sure bridge the generation gap. My kids and grandkids
all enjoy the hobby and I get to spend the day with them one on one.
Besides even us big kids like playing in the dirt everyonce in awhile.
