What I wasn't expecting to find was the above. I imagine it's the speedometer from a Massey Ferguson tractor. The only questions are, which one, when did it fall off, and has she noticed that it's missing? It looks quite new.
I shall pop up to see her some time, and I'll let you know!
can you keep the things that you find? That's more fun than looking for Easter eggs!
ReplyDeleteThere's no problem keeping stone age finds; they're very common. A stash of gold coins might be a different matter. I'm still looking for those!
ReplyDeleteEither it's brand new, or it's gone round the clock - which would be unlikely. It's an engine running time meter, and looks to me as though it's only registered 0.2 of an hour. I am not suggesting it was thrown away so that the true mileage of the tractor would not show up when she comes to sell it, however....
ReplyDeleteNot really what you were looking for...but...interesting none the less. I remember one year helping dad clear stone from a field and he found several arrow heads. Found treaure. Gotta love it. Do you have a metal detector?
ReplyDeleteI called it a 'speedo' as it seemed too long-winded to explain about tractors and 'hours'. But of course that's exactly what it is. Why it's still at zero remains one of the mysteries of this century.
ReplyDelete'Mystery'? So you don't go along with my theory that it was (allegedly) deliberately ripped off when the tractor was delivered from the factory?
ReplyDeleteSometimes reading everyones comments before me is as entertaining as reading the post itself! Lol When my sister and I were kids we had an old graveyard within bike riding distance. We found many treasure there, mainly Indianhead pennies. I wish I'd kept them. We sold a whole three folder coin collection for $3! It seemed like a fortune at the time!
ReplyDeleteI love buried treasure, ancient, or not.
ReplyDeleteI also love "Dali's sofa" and traded it for "pink bow tie". You're brilliant, Cro.
