For the die hard relic hunter, dump digger or privy digger.
A new show (at least to me) just showed up ---- "D** W***" - 5 days ago
It's better than that stupid "Savage" relic hunt show but not much better. All these idiots do is, show the public, that all diggers are interested in is selling the things they find. It doesn't matter how much everyone says about "Saving History" , one of these shows changes the complete perspective that the public sees. It looks to me they're pushed by the companies trying to sell detectors.by Trocar - The Good Stuff
I agree with Creskol- Some type of saw blade tensioner like a hacksaw. Not like anything I have seen on any drum. - 8 weeks ago

I have seen pewter tops similar that were to Cologne bottles for shaking. Like the "Ol Spice" bottles. Could be cap to a sauce bottle also. Just a guess. - 3 months ago

If the item is brass------ - 3 months ago
then I would say it is the bottom vent to a Tenor Horn or Baritone (depends on the size). I'm trying to compare it to one of the bullets and it looks about that size. It could be to a Tuba or Alto Horn also. If it's made of pewter than I doubt it's from a musical instrument. What is the material?by Trocar - Relic & Bottle
Man I hope so-- I haven't had a chance to go out with mine yet. - 3 months ago

Hey Guys, It's off an early Wooden Clarinet. Spit valves weren't invented until the 1870's. The size and angle of the pad is too small for a Keyed Bugle. - 3 months ago
There were some keys to a clarinet found I think by Butch Brown a few DIV's ago. This key could be from a wood flute, but this type of key was mostly a concert instrument not a field type fife.by Trocar - Relic & Bottle
Wow Jeff, God was watching out for your family. Hope you can get it all back to normal soon! - 4 months ago

What ever happened to the 2 other guys that were with him? Did they finally realize how BAD the and STUPID the show is? He's using all family members now and they all graduated from the "Worst Acting School Around"! - 4 months ago

They're from an ALTO HORN at 23+ mm - 4 months ago
Here's a shot of an ALTO and a shot of the rotary valve is in the back. BTW- I think your part has either been in a fire or smashed from something. Hope this helps!by Trocar - Relic & Bottle
Thanks Tony- I'm too dumb to get in out of the rain, but I do know CW brass Musical Instruments. - 4 months ago

Ron- Nice find--It appears to be a rotary valve from a Cornet or Tenor Horn or maybe a tuba. It's hard to tell the size.-- - 4 months ago
Here's a few shot of a Rotary Valve from a TUBA or Bass as it was called then. Yours has what seems to be an internal bumper stop system like on a "STARK" or "ALLIN VALVE" system. All the others were on the outside of the valve. If you measure across the circle of the valve(as best you can) I can tell if it's from a Cornet, Alto, Tenor, or Bass. Neat find and there might be other things there bby Trocar - Relic & Bottle
It lost due to "Bum Officiating" and Yankee referees! - 4 months ago

Hey Creskol- Those teeth reminded me of a true story in my hometown------ - 4 months ago
There was a Funeral Home in my hometown many years ago. All the "Homeless" people would come around and knock on the door after hours ( like a funeral home is ever closed ) and ask to check "The Box". --- The box was filled with old dentures that were not always used in embalming. They would try each plate until they found one that fit pretty well and then off they'd go. Very sad in a way,by Trocar - Relic & Bottle
Joey it looks like some type of old intake value from an engine. Really hard to tell. Thanks for the picture. - 5 months ago

Good Find Joey--- What is the knob thing that looks like a mouthpiece to an instrument? Take some other picture of it. Glad you and Jeff are getting out to hunt while your down there. Looking forward to March--- - 5 months ago

Yes don't give these idiots any ideas. They just made it illegal to hunt a park in Funkstown, MD. that has been hunted for at least 40 years and it had a few CW items there. - 5 months ago
Someone found something expensive (No one knows who, what or when) but the city council stopped any detector use in the park. Heaven forbid someone might find something they can't tax.by Trocar - Diggin' In Virginia
Looks something like the piece on a roof to hold back the snow from falling into a gutter and breaking it off from the house. - 5 months ago

WTB-- Cast Wreath to a ( Wait for It) "Revenue Cutters 2 piece CW Buckle" - 6 months ago
Put an ad up a few years ago for this , (NO LUCK) pretty Rare. Thought I'd try again just in case someone has dug one in the last few years. Contact me if you have one. Buckle that is!by Trocar - Buy / Sale / Trade
