pounded this lot with a small coil to see between the scrap and bottle caps. Dug a lot of caps and scrap out the the last month. Switched back to stock coil to cover the ground I missed. It paid off.
Spoon is well was silver plated court pattern circa 1939. I think that's an ox knob? Know they grazed cows on this land at some point must have been a barn too because I found a set of barn door hinges.
Thinking that gold plated crown is a perfume cap? Has some of the bottle neck still in the threads. Or crown royal lol.
Have the rest of the pull but it was brittle and charred. Held together by the charged wood behind it. Was very gentle but it didn't survive my attempt to get it out. Definitely hepplewhite style.
The ribbed metal thing is still unidentified. Can only make out "N.Y." on the top.
Went to an abandoned late 1700s house I knew near by. Crunchy gravely filler dirt almost everywhere and just trash. But I always circle the old trees. And bam 30s or 40s pocket watch. Welsbro was registered in 1930. New York based watch importer. It's seized up pretty good on the inside so no chance on a restoration. Can't even get the case screws to budge. Dial is cracked.
