Wow, I can't believe you knew it was a harmonica! I had to Google the inscription. Really beautiful, right?

The other possibly part of a door hinge, can't really tell from the photo..
Maybe pics of the back and the edge that is straight..
Also what type of area was it found?? Old house sir, etc....

I'm pretty sure it's just an ornamental hinge, though somebody suggested it could be part of a drawer pull.

I found these in the big front yard of an early-1800s era house in rural PA. Not to far from the side of the long driveway that leads down to the house.

I don't think that there are many people that don't find harmonica parts sooner or later lol, that other piece could be any kind of hardware maybe even a shutter dog . I like finding things that tell a little story as much as or more so than coins

Hey you're back. Long time no see. You will find lots of harmonica parts. If you're lucky you will find a whole harmonica. I did. Very fragile but still whole. What detector did you end up getting?

As soon as I saw that I thought harmonica. I have one lol. What are you swinging with?

Unfortunately here at work, my company's net security thinks your images are bad juju, so they won't open, but can I just say I read the blog entry... loved it. Free flowing, and I could completely visualize the dialogue... nice job

Hey, thank you! I try to write the same way I'd talk if I were telling a fun story to a friend, you know?

Thanks! I really need to talk with more people from the area, maybe get some advice.

Always good to see another person from the area. Hope you get to find some more good stuff while this weather holds up for us here in PA.
