A few finds today...

[fwcrawford]

I got out for a little today and started at an old house where I found three wheats and the 1902 IH cent.
The yard has been overgrown, but was cleared somewhat recently.
Later on I searched some woods near another
old house near a recreational trail and stumbled across the ring.
Any ideas about the other object in the photo?
I am thinking it is part of a door latch... it looks familiar ... either I have found one before or saw one posted on the forum.
Thanks for looking!

Nice finds. I was hoping you were going to tell us what that other object was. It's interesting.

Maybe some sort of garden gate latch?

I have no idea… it is made of bronze.

Nice score on the wheaties and IH! When I first saw your unidentified piece I thought of a ball joint separator lol but I know it’s not that. Maybe it’s a rare tuning fork

Nice Saves. I like the ring. Sorry I can't help with the I'D of the one piece, but I'm sure that someone will come along shortly that can.

I thought the same thing at first too Jimmy. That is a beautiful ring.

Maybe it is from an ancient alien spacecraft crash long ago… after all it was about 6” deep…..

Well done Felix! We had rain and a lot of snow melt here. By the weekend I may be able to get out!

Good luck to you Ted!!

The mystery piece has been identified with help from a member on the forum.
It is what I actually guessed it was.

That's neat. I have found complete mortise locks before. I wonder if some kid took that one apart 100+ years ago. I would have.

I was hoping for the seven prong liver scratcher…… missing five prongs…… right size at least.

Is that a gold ring Felix? Very pretty.

No… it is silver with CZ’s.
Thanks!
