Unique find.

Went out today in the light rain to a home site I recently found. I was digging mostly house parts for the first half hour, when I got a weird signal that I almost didn't dig. When I recovered this at first I thought it was part of a fence stake, then I saw the writing. After cleaning and a quick google search, I discovered it was a licence plate topper for a hot rod. Made by B.F Goodrich.

Thank you! I almost didn't dig it, awful sounding.

A bit before my time, but pretty much everything I dig up is older than me, other than zinc pennies.
