i don't think that was a two piece oxknob Dave , i'm pretty sure water seeped in and over the years kept on refreezing and eventually splitting the thing in the two halves. almost all of mine are threaded in the inside but i do have a few that aren't . i think i'm up to 20 now , hey whats the price of brass going nowdays anyway. lol lol

[MassDirtFisher]

[SeabeeRon]

I think Ox Knobs are cool, probably cuz I don't see them out here! Kinda like the pull tab/bottle cap finds from the beach!

lol lol lol I like that comparison! I'm thinking there weren't oxen around here in Ky way back when? I'll have to research that... definately lots of horses, cattle, bison and whitetail deer

Yep, nothing like having a bad day and finally getting that one solid coin signal, only to unearth a laughing ox knob
