Deus Loves Iron!

[CDDZ]

Past couple of days have been nice and the ground has thawed. Went to a permission of an 1848 canal house. I have pounded this place over the years with many different detectors. This yard is FULL of iron bits. Here are a few pics of the finds.... as I said lots of iron.

What is This???

Need more pictures of your mermaid dolphin sea monster looking thing after you get it cleaned up.
looks cool.
did you find any other interesting finds??
I see a brass tag with two holes... anything on it..
inquiring minds need to know..
Looks like it was a fun hunt...

It is a B&O Railroad tag. A few buckles, iron and brass. In the past I have found a couple of reals (1787,1797) a few large cent, and Indians.

Not sure what the hell this thing is

Could it possibly be a cane handle? Whatever it is very cool.

Not sure, the top has threading. I have searched around quite a bit with no luck, not even sure of the age.

Really nice finds. Polish that thing and build a cane to fit it. HH-Mark

Looks like it would be a pretty cool beer tap handle! What program and settings you run?

I would play with the disc a little to knock out the small bits of iron, the GB index would change a good bit due to all the iron.

That sea looking thing is too cool. The Deus does like iron but it gives you a pretty good clue that is what it is after. I dig most of it I run across just to clear it and for the occasional nice surprise. Thanks for sharing.

Nice! Now do you have a link for that page where you got the image.
Edit: Found it I was searching bronze fish form, not brass. First image that popped up for brass fish form fire poker LOL

I would like to know where the heck all that iron comes from and what it was used for. Some sites I go to look like old scrap yards there is so much iron.
