Not a metal detecting find, but I thought some folks here might find this interesting.
I was looking through an April, 1942 Life magazine and came across an article about a Boston "scrap" party.they were donating everything to the war effort. I hope you can read the captions under the pictures.
My wife does all the driving, I just hold the steering wheel!
It brings a tear to the eye, thinking of those historical items being junked, even if it was for a good cause.
