My metal spot

[andy volkerts]

The toy guy on Antiques Roadshow did an appraisal on a side paddle wheel toy boat like yours, with an offset wheel several years back, and if I remember correctly it was several hundred dollars, and he noted that it is rare....Good get!!

Cool Finds! Keep digging so we can see what else you come up with. And a close-up of the bird feathers would be nice.

I give all metal stuff i don't want to a local artsist this is two days of stuff for him. Most of it is hand forged iron. Yes and there are old leather shoes in there. I think my artist buddy will love them.

This is stuff i gave to my artst friend for him to make stuff out of. Everything is found other than the leaves he hammered out of a piece of stainless from a resturant we bought for our business.

There are brass and bronze propellors and old boat light old brass lamp parts and iron lamp parts from this spot a cast iron sewer grate i found even the two three quarter inch solid stailess steel rods that make the stem were found by me. Crazy find eh?

let me know when you are ready for more!
