Jul2016DS

 

Found in Dogtown by Lee Nunnally and Dave Steck, at a house built from lumber from the 1904 World’s Fair.  The nail punch looking item is in reality a copper connection to a lightning rod.  It was connected to a deeply buried cable.  If anyone has any insight as to what the disc is…Lee would appreciate it.  It was found where an old garage was that housed a Model T.  All were found 4-6 inches deep.

ASK THE EXPERTS answer: The disc is a Model T timing gear.
