Popular Post CVISChris Posted January 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 25, 2021 Hi everyone, new poster here. I will try to post a few pics of today’s hunt. I found an old rock foundation on a hillside and this is what I found. Oh was using Equinox 800 with 6 and 11 inch coils. I also found a pocket watch but no pic yet 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Great finds, the tire gauge is from around the 1950's. Good catch and good hunting. Good luck on your next hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCR Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I may be wrong but that tire gage looks older than 1950's. Looks more like early to mid 1920's. Mr. Google should be able to come up with some info. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogodog Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 JCR, Hit the nail on the head, early 20's to 30's. If you can clean it up a little it still might work. They were not only used for automobiles but the large quantity of bicycles around that time frame. Nice job that's a cool find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CVISChris Posted January 26, 2021 Author Share Posted January 26, 2021 I did get it cleaned up and can pull the slide out but it is still a bit gritty on the inside and doesn’t work. Patent date of 1916 on the side. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valens Legacy Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Glad to see you found a date for it, I didn't think it looked that old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
