Default Search of our front horse pasture....

yeilded mostly junk. But I did remove some sharp items which could have cut into an unsuspecting horse if they wallowed on them. Found these things with the F75 between about 2 and 6 inches. Did not find any civil war relics and no coins. I am not sure what the copper thing is though. Has "SA" symbol so I think it might be a component of something electrical. Anyone have any ideas as to what it might be?

Can't tell by the picture, but if it has a small hole in the closer end and metal mesh type on the other, I'd say is a nozzle for a furnace. Just a guess?

Alan is right. It's a nozzle filter for an oil furnace.

Keep checking the site Dave cause you never know what was there years ago.

I think an old house stood here at one time. I dont have anything on record to show it but I did find some charred debris within the finds I pulled out.
