    Dave those Caramel covered mushrooms look yummy. Kinda reminds me of the original Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory movie

    I like that matron head. She's got the creeping crud but is still holding on to her good looks. Plus she gave up her age.
    Oldest find: 5,000 year old copper spearhead
    Oldest coin: 1699 William III halfpenny
    Purdiest coin: 1832 Capped Bust quarter
    Coolest find: USA button with blue threads still on shank

    Hey Dave,

    What was the screw/hoop thing used for? I found one of those too and was wondering what is was used for. Kind of looks like a lamp finial but I don't think that is what it is. Any idea?

    I love the mushrooms! They do look Willy Wonkaish!

    Fun finds!

    thanks Stace! I beleive they were mounted on the front of a horse drawn wagon and the horse reigns would go through them up to the driver
