	Some Iron Relics Over the Last Few Days. « on: March 31, 2011, 10:50:27 am »

SO.... decided that I would turn the disc on the Cibola down to slightly under iron and dig those targets in the yard. Come to find out.... my yard is kinda interesting!

The stuff I have dug so far is heavily encrustificated with an IRON/SAND cement that has formed over the years. The first pic is of the buckle after a quick rinse. The other bits are ...well...I dunno.

Last night I found this monster chain... I only have a portion of it uncovered... its probably 8' long or so. The links are about 3 inches long.

Thanks for the pics. Sure helps when one needs help with identification. I'd like to see the rest of that chain? The links Look larger than a bicycle chain? Way way back in the day some model T's had large chains like what I see there as T owners converted there rear wheel drives to chain driven tracks. Like a bull dozer. Don't have a pic of that handy here but...for real, they did this for traction of course but the memory I have was to cross the frozon lakes to Canada to run moonshine. Hey...sounds like a story for the chain to me?

I got the chain dug last nite...

Heres a pic of it after a few minutes with the garden hose. To give you an idea of size... that is my size 11 combat boot at the bottom of the pic.

Now what do I do with this thing?. LOL.
