Got out to a few places this weekend and managed to muster up a few finds....pic obviously doesn't include all the junk/trash...

Best find of the day was a Spartanburg, Union and Columbia (SU&CRR) railroad key. The SU&CRR was in operation from 1878 to 1896 and eventually became the Asheville and Spartanburg Railroad.
