From the land of the Bluenose.....was really looking forward to a whole day of digging with a few newbies but first I had to fix up an old friend.

,,,,, oh to spend a day detecting in your neck of the woods.
I think your dewy is a plumb weight of some kind.
 
There are a lot of different styles of teeth or guards for sickle mowers. This is just one of them. Yours looks like an Allis Chalmers mower guard.
 
Nice call khouse
I would be ashamed to compare my finds with yours Leslie. It seems like you can find one hundred coins just walking from the kitchen to the bathroom.
another nice posting.
 
Yeah I thought it looked like a piece off a sickle mower. Used to drag a triple around behind a tractor when I worked in a huge cemetary many moons ago.

I've replace a few guards but a heck of a lot of sections! We carried sections, rivets, hammer and punch on the tractor. Those sickle mowers took a lot maintenance.
 
Great finds ! I always enjoy reading your posts thanks for sharing.
 
He has more talent than just detecting. He is a great photographer! Well he can sure tell a good story too.
 
congrats on a nice hunt looks like your training the newbies to well tell Kev the silver ring with the orange stone is a great find :clapping: i"d be stoked if i found one like it.
like the others said the bit"s off a mower.
 
Ain't that the truth. My grand dad had a horse-drawn sickle mower that I used to man when I was a kid. All of his equipment was horse drawn. He refused to go mechanized. I used to pitch hay to a stationary baler powered by a big steam powered tractor.Those were the fun days. When I was a kid I used to work in the hay fields every summer, pulling a baler, poking or tying wires on a baler, bucking bales, stacking bales, and putting loose hay in the loft with a horse operated hay hook. I operated the horse. :rofl:

Bill hay bales suck !!!! i use to spend one week every Christmas stacking bales on a trailer then unloading the the trailer in the hay barn i"d work like a dog & when a part fell off the baler the father in law would get me to find the part with that "metal finder thingy" wile the rest of the family kicked back under a tree it"s about the only time i"v hated detecting :heh: i"m quite glad i don't do that any more :thumbup:
