Found this in a stream while metal detecting....not sure if it's a sundial or clock

Interesting that the number 4 is IIII instead of IV. I looked it up and I guess that's the way it's sometimes done.

Interesting Dave. How big is it?

Do you ever wish that you had kept it? Kelley (Texas)

Well sorta but since it went to a friend it's ok. Not like the artifacts I've sold early on Ebay that I wish I had back now!

 

[Mason Jarr]

What was it made from? You must've been in relic mode?

 

[Nancy-IL]

And may I ask what artifact you wish you had back?

That's a good sized clock in it's day if that's what it was. I guess we'll never know.

Well when I first joined Ebay I was excited about putting on things to make a little money but wish I had many of them back. I miss the set of crude white clay pipes I had dug as well as a hand blown egg that they say old farmers used to try to get their chickens to lay eggs, a very old arrowhead, old porcelain 1910 license plate, an old Edison bulb, and various other things. Some I didn't put on Ebay but sold anyway. For the money I got, I'd rather have them to look at and touch!

I totally understand. Be thankful you have them as memories. That's something that will always stay with you plus since selling on Ebay, hopefully you've got the pictures. Possibly make a collage of pictures of your relics and frame it.
