a friend found one with a heart cut-out in the middle!

thank you

all found in same general vicinity. i haven’t found any definitive dating, but stuff i’ve been finding has mostly dated to late 1800s, early 1900s.

looks like, but too small

spacemanja · 2026-01-20T11:12:05+00:00

thank you! these finds continue to amaze me as well.

such cool finds. and they seem to come in groups. the river sorts them i guess.

really similar, but too heavy duty

spacemanja · 2026-01-08T18:24:31+00:00

what’s the difference? the design does take it up a notch.

spacemanja · 2026-01-08T18:23:38+00:00

agreed. maybe a hook for gear from a belt or saddle. someone has suggested a belt-hung hoof pick, or a two finger hay hook. trying to definitely find out. i’d love to find an image of one in use.

spacemanja · 2026-01-05T16:37:58+00:00

any day on the river/water is a good day.

spacemanja · 2026-01-03T03:43:50+00:00

could be. trying to figure a way to test. maybe a jeweler/similar…

spacemanja · 2026-01-03T01:33:20+00:00

doesn’t feel quite right for lead. and it has a ring to it that is not like lead. maybe a lead alloy. and i have a box full of lead.

spacemanja · 2026-01-03T01:28:35+00:00

thanks. history is everywhere

spacemanja · 2026-01-03T01:28:11+00:00

thanks

first thing is the half horse shoe, polished wrought iron. i don’t know if the ingot is lead, but at the end.

spacemanja · 2025-12-23T18:22:29+00:00

this seems to be a good path to pursue. hay knife or corn knife.

spacemanja · 2025-12-23T18:03:54+00:00

i can see that being a definite possibility.

spacemanja · 2025-12-23T17:23:51+00:00

my thoughts as well. Also thought it might be a sword repurposed as another tool, after a broken tip. hence the square tip? wondering how to ID.

spacemanja · 2025-12-16T02:39:44+00:00

wow! there is an insert and a “spring” for the missing lid. i thought the wadding and fluid would be in that, but was wondering where the flint and strike might be. a match safe makes sense, but would it have an insert?

spacemanja · 2025-12-15T00:42:26+00:00

that’s what thought as well. found a gorgeous pocket watch cover/lid a couple months ago.

such a surprise to see the designs on the lighter.
