Metal Detectors

[Billohio]

Those are neat.

Here are a couple shots of the whole pile (not including the couple hundred broken ones).

Also took a shot of most of the stuff we have found. I don't think that sheet metal is the remnant of an RS fender. I believe it is part of a Model A windshield.

Wow, lotsa metal there. That leaf spring must be a real "high performance" rate....

[Lynn]

I think the leaf springs are Model T. The jack is Model A.

That's some interesting stuff Lynn! I wish I was closer to give you a hand.

Ive used metal detectors everyday for 30 years as a land surveyor....Ive found old knives, many horseshoes and a few car parts... always waiting to find that pot of gold !!!

Lynn,
I'm looking to borrow or rent one of those detectors too. We have an old farm house and the property is virgin dirt. Over the years, some farm implement pieces have worked their way to the surface, along with horse shoes and a set of 1932 NJ license plates.
Many years ago a 90 year old lady came to visit and said she and her brother grew up in our house. She said they buried a can of silver dollars somewhere thinking they would grow a money tree. That was about 1911 she said.

The Silver Dollars should be ripe by now or some old lady is playing a joke on you.

And the horse shoe is well worn, very thin at the front. I know nothing about horses and their shoes, but a neighbor here used to shoe horses, and says it is a &quot;corrective&quot; shoe.
