Answer to mystery find. That is a neon stand off. For mounting neon tubing on signs

[@denniscutter1539]

YEP! You Hit It On The Nail head!

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks very much for your help with that and I appreciate you watching this one! ATB Greg

[@twindiggersminnesotapamandpat]

Greg, I hear you on stepping back and going to a location of peace and tranquility. Loved all of your unique finds including another ring and a silver Rosie. The Ford electrical item was my favorite. Best wishes to you.👍👏😀

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much you two and I appreciate all your hard work recovering and saving history! Keep it up! Take care and ATB Greg

[@Sufferingbearsfan]

I always appreciate a break from the craziness in our country. And the best break is a look back. Its why most of us detect. You do it best. Thanks for the break.

[@FindingAmerica]

Thanks so much for the kind words Sean and glad you liked watching this one! Take care out there and ATB Greg

[@gregrainwater9658]

That was a good show, Greg. I found a bunch Organ Reeves. By old church and I figured the organ was throw away.

[@alanatolstad4824]

I wondered if the area had been hit by a storm that damaged the home, & that accounted for the odd finds in one location?

[@FindingAmerica]

I have several permissions in that neighborhood and I usually spend the day roaming a bit between them while detecting there.

[@FindingAmerica]

That is probably what happened there. Thanks Greg and I appreciate you watching this one! ATB Greg

[@mikelego9362]

That is brush for D/C motor @ 4:00

Great Hunt. The Wildroot is a hair cream/ Hair tonic from early 1900's and is still sold today I believe. I remember it well because my dad used it.

[@FindingAmerica]

Nice finds Greg. Love all the old photos too.

[@FindingAmerica]

[@johnkimberl4222]

Starter brush, to an old 6 volt starter. Have rebuild a few back in the day.

[@FindingAmerica]

Yep, I should have recognized it out there as I have sold enough NOS brushes in the past. The Stackpole name threw me a bit. Thanks so much for watching this one! ATB Greg

[@alanatolstad4824]

I almost laughed out loud when I saw that one woman's hat in the first train photo! Imagine, going in to the hat shop, sitting down to try on hats, & falling in love with THAT ONE! And, the designer who decided that it was going to be a style someone would love! Mind-boggling!---I almost expected you to say that Timex was still capable of working again...remember their slogan?! "Takes a lickin' & keeps on tickin'"!---I love finding out about birds in other parts of the country, & that one singing over your head was driving me nuts, wanting you to tell me what kind it was!---Hmm, those women in long skirts on the hill side, harvesting something? Prepping for something?

[@FindingAmerica]

I don't know Alana, I think a light and airy meringue would be a very desirable thing to have atop your hat. :) Always great to have in a lack of a snack pinch. I resisted the old Timex slogan as it just seemed to be too low of a hanging fruit. LOL I came across a video short out there that had ten songbirds and their songs. I remember that one being on there but I just can't recall it now. It was in a bush right next to me and I figured it was warning me to stay away from here little ones. The women on the hillside is a very interesting photo as they were Appalachian women from this area that lived in the mountains. They were actually clearing a hillside to grow their corn on. There wasn't much flat land in the mountains and they made do with the land they had. The hillside probably got the morning sun each day. It was a tough way of life but they adapted to the obstacles. Love that photo.

[@alanatolstad4824]

@@FindingAmerica I loved the explanation of the hillside clearance. Coming from the prairie of North Dakota, I was clueless!

[@billbertke7778]

A whole bunch of goodies! Of course, you KNOW I loved the the Timex advertisement with #7 Mickey Mantle! Another good and fun episode, Greg!

Thanks so much Bill and I love that ad as well! I appreciate you watching this one! Take care and ATB Greg

I agree with the person who said it was a stand-off for a neon sign,saw a lot of them installed in restaurants l built years ago. Always look forward to Thursdays and another great hunt.
