Interesting hunt today. Give me some help on these.

The 1st item is some type of decorative fence post top?

The 2nd looks like a drawer pull maybe. It says "Rainbow 1 Poly" on it.

The 3rd is a pocket watch case. It rang up like a silver dollar on the AT MAX. Could it be SILVER? There are no markings. It cleaned up really easy and shined right up. The top handle thing is corroded though. What do you think?

Could be silver, any pics before it was clean. It's it heavy for its size.

I don't have any before pics. It was just dirty. I rinsed it with water. It had a little bit of corrosion (I guess you would call it corrosion?) I used a little vinegar and it shined right up.

It doesn't seem heavy for its size to me. And.. i just broke off the part that the handle was mounted to. It was really corroded.

Does not look like a silver watch to me.
It has a quartz movement in it so it's not that old either.
Still, pretty cool find!

By the way you can buy a silver and gold testing kit off of eBay for around $12.00. Takes all the guess work out of it
Happy Hunting !

The Rainbow thing - feel like i had a piece like that that bolted to a similarly shaped back half. But I don't know what it was for. If I'm wrong on that it looks like it could be a bracket to hold pipe or wiring.

The piece marked "Rainboy" is from an underground sprinkler system. Possibly a hose clamp.
