My old 1906 Grammar School

[tabdog]

[size=large]It was called Lee School.

Here you can see tha rock wall that went all tha way
around tha block.

As a mater of fact, there was a town here around tha
turn of tha century called Lee. Tha old Lee Theater
still stands across tha street.

When I was a kid, I could walk tha half mile from my
house to tha Lee Theater and watch movies for a
dime.

Lee was incorporated into Little Rock before I was
born.

The school is now called tha:

Willie L. Hinton Neighborhood Rescue Center.

Using my Vaquero, I found an old Lee button.

Then I found this whatzit. It seems to be made of
brass and alloy metals. Probably copper and tin. It
Is threaded on tha inside. It was 7

Looks like a good place, how much did you cover?

Nice bunch of finds Tabdog. The 'whatzit' looks like some kind of handle to something.

 

[tabdog]

Hay Eric,

I didn't cover much.

That was the third time I have hunted there.

I know that tha fill is real deep in places.
A few places the fill is thinner.

I got all my finds in a 30' X 50' area.

It is tha same spot that most of my good
finds have come from there.

It is also real trashy all over.

HH,

Tabdog

They tore my old grammar school down. Also my old middle school. I wish I could go back. My grammar school is a parking lot now.. Interesting finds Tabdog!!
Keep up the good stories. I found something like that metal wire nut not to long ago. If I can find it I will post a picture. Jim

This was in a web site about fake collectables.

So I guess that it is a collectable.

Here's mine.

NIce pin and ring Tabdog.

 

[tab-nabit]

The Whatzit looks like the cap on a schrader valve - type used in HVAC systems which can be in different length/heights.

 

[tabdog]

Tha Whatzit is a shrader valve cover from tha 1920's.

Marty nailed it.

Happy Huntin,

Tabdog
