Default Found a few relics

Hey Pappy;
Took the day off on Thursday to hunt and went to a park I had not visited before. It is in a town with lots of old homes. It was difficult hunting, lots of signals and even some stuff that looked like wallpaper (maybe lead paint?). Anyway I found what looks to be a mold and a copper whatsit. Any thoughts on the copper thing?

Disregard my question on your other post, you answered it here before I asked it

The copper think looks familiar, can't quite place it though?

Good hunting! The copper device looks like it may have been a thermostat type device? Glad you got out, Beale.

Glad to hear you got out Debby! Yesterday was a great day to be outsude! The new club should be fun and I had thought about joining. I always wanted to get to Rose Tree to recover the change I lost at the band shell dancing to Jimmy Shoe and the Shine. Take care!
