I went back to my friends Tom and Marets property this afternoon after the sun dropped low enough to shade the lawn. It was in the low 80's and humid, but a light breeze made it pleasant. I worked my way down the lawn that slopes away from the house. I was hoping to find cool stuff around where there was once an orchard, no luck. I got mostly pull tabs, nails, and other odd junk.
So I came back up and searched around below their deck while Tom watched. He was tickled when I turned up a lobster pick, and let me keep it.
I also found a nice vintage silver fork marked "ALVIN STERLING" - another keeper! Alvin was in business from 1886 to 1928, so this is around 100 years old. It's in very good shape.
Then I found a brass garden hose nozzle, this design is old I think and does not shut off. Tom hooked it up to a hose and it shot a thin stream over 30 feet. Great for putting out small fires, but this one goes in my brass recycling bin.
