There's something, very corroded. At the end it says Jan 25 1910. I was digging with my backhoe and it popped up.
Sorry Manny, don't mean to threadjack. At least you found the info you needed.

The only thing I ever found underground at my place was the power feed lines for my cabin. Found with a skid-loader mounted post-hole auger.   lol

That pipe tray is a great find!
Great eyes to find an exact one on ebay KelVarnsen!
We find hunks of metal now and then on our property. There used to be a blacksmith shop on the land years ago. When they built our Motel they found a knee bone. We think it is from a moose.

Manny, some old kids toys are collectable and have value.
JustZ, is there a round in the pipe? May want to let the Sheriff know make model serial number, might be related to a cold case.
