A guy I knew decades ago bought a large rural property. He eventually found around 20 cars in a stand of trees dating from 20's to 50's. He got some VIN #'s off some of them and asked the police to look into them. One officer, a car buff, was very interested. In the end, they couldn't trace...

Yup. As the COOL part of the title.

I suspect there are lots of "time capsule" notes and stuff left in walls during construction, but I am always amazed how stories of people hiding valuables in walls when renovating, only to be forgotten and only found when someone does the next renovation.

That's pretty cool. Wonder the value.

The "teeth" threw me off a bit. I was picturing a device to advance a chain driven lumber mill a little at a time or something. I couldn't figure out the angles when the handle was dropped that might make it was I was thinking.

Oh man, you already knew what it was? Do you know how much sleep I lost wondering? :):) I thought you were asking what it does. You were challenging to see if we knew !! All good. Spoiler alert, didn't lose sleep :):) It would be interesting to see how it works, or in action.. I may go...

No, no. No need to delete anything ..... That stuff is always cool to find. I just got curious about whether the place was still in operation.

Does it move? Looking at the construction, it wouldn't move far and I can't quite guess how much. Something to advance a chain driven whatever? Something to hold a chain in place? Judging by the teeth. Let us know if you find out.

They don't appear to exist any more. ??

Cool. Ruskie drones? :) I've seen 2 American Bald Eagles in my neighborhood. One flew low at my car with a few crows pecking at it, and a smile on it's beak. Stopped. but couldn't find my phone camera quick enough.

About as patriotic as it gets. BUT How would that change if the eagle crapped and it landed on the flag? Problem? BTW, it wouldn't be nearly as inspiring in a Canadian version. Maple leaf and a Canada goose. Not the same effect :)

They can have as many as those flying, cigar-dropping, buggers they can eat. Too many here for sure.

Some of this stuff makes you wonder what story goes with it, if you're a positive attitude type person. Or what kind of demented sociopath may have lived there at some point in history if you're not so sun-shiny.

I didn't click the link, but I still have a question. GREEN glow from an old mine lantern?

That's cool !!
