I just got home from hunting Park #1 in my neighborhood and I didn't find anything special, but I was able to find targets which made it fun for me finally. I was able to score a 1946 wheat penny. After five years of being in the hobby I still love finding them. I also found a broken barnlike door hinge, a piece to a wheel bearing, a broken and very rusty spoon or fork handle, and another piece that I am unaware of what it is so please chime in if anyone knows what it may be. The top of the piece is hinged, as you can tell in the last pic, but the very center of the piece at the top can be pushed causing the cross or X piece underneath to wiggle up and down.

I only hunted for about two hours since we have storms in the area.

Thanks for the quick ID 5 mile! Ironically, I originally had thought it was something to do with tea is cellrdwellr had mentioned.

So I went down to an old farmer friends house to show him the tobacco pipe piece that I had found and he says "stay right there, I wanna show you what I got". He comes back to me with his grandpa's smoking pipe with a very similar piece attached to it. I thought that was pretty cool.
