I have been at this hobby for nearly three years now, and feel quite lucky to keep finding unusual stuff.
There is one permission which I expected would give up some old stuff and it hasn't disappointed me
To date, I have found (along with a bunch of clad and the usual junk, scrap, and trash) , several toy cars, aircraft, and trucks. A bridle rosette or three. A hub cap for a mid-1920's Ford truck. A solid brass 6" garden hose nozzle (looks just like the old fire nozzles). And many of "oh-its-one-of-those (whatever "they" are)
This is the same property which gave me the 1794 Liberty Cap large cent and the Wedgewood Cameo.
The latest two items (subjects for today, while not as exciting to some, still made me a happy digger!)
The harmonica was made in Germany (mid 1800's?), and the cap gun probably early 1900's to maybe 1950?
The hammer stills cocks and when the trigger is squeezed it releases (but the spring is gone so you must push it back forward)
Both cleaned up ( as far as I am willing to go) and look pretty good.
Sorry, they are all sideways, just having trouble rotating and saving them "right-side-up"
