total disaster Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 while duck hunting on the coast line I was walking alone and found this little thing in the grass on the beach rocks I suspect it is old and to me it looks like the center of a pully ....it is made out of hardwood and dose not seem to have been used much in its day ...there is rust spots on it where I suspect there was a metal rod for it to spin on .....anyone know if what I found is worth anything ??? I will try to get some better pics of it for you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Re: don\'t know what I found tonight??? It looks to me like part of the rigging (pully) from some sort of sailing vessel. Pretty cool find. Maybe there is a shipwreck, not too far from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] I am not sure of the correct numbers buckee, but between Cape Sable Island ( where I live ) and Seal Island which is about 10 miles offshore from Justins, there are 100's of known shipwrecks -- schooners and freighters, before modern technolgy and lighthouses. there have been tons of artifacts found over the years.

Tominator Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Re: don\'t know what I found tonight??? almost looks like a small wheel used on a railway of some sort. take it to the next "Antiques Roadshow" in your area. they seem to be able to identify anything. who knows, maybe it's worth some $$$$$$$$$$$ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeramie Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 Re: don\'t know what I found tonight??? Cool! That would be really cool if it were from an old ship. Id love to go dive through some old ship wrecks. If you find out what it is let us know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
