I know what you mean.... but be carefull... there is still a lot of unexploded ammo out there... If a civil war cannon ball can kill someone.... I am sure there is something out there that can do you in.... We need you around to check out your finds...  Grin  I don't know if you have seen this... but it has been posted here:

I know the dangers out there keith,always aware,but you know when you hit an infested spot,as soon as you start pulling up ammo cases hand guns ect,and there is still loads of that stuff here,I know one about 2miles from where I sitting now,well dangerous,It was where the americans entered in 1945,its in a forest east of munich,pitty because there is also a lot of roman history in this area also...look at it this way,modern history on top of ancient history,,,still nothing is going to stop me digging

Thats good...... just be careful buddy.... I have to say I am kind of jealous as we have none of that kind of history here.... I remember someone posted a grenade they found out there... those are still very dangerous.... good luck with the roman finds.... I really like those....

Awesome finds TD.......... just be carefull as not to run into any unexploded ammunition.... especially the kind that have that fuse on top... I use to take a wrench and adjust them to what we would call "point det" prior to loading them in the magazine..... I was a 5" ammo handler on a Knox class frigate.. Just be carefull around those... we dropped a few.... Scary... I am still here.. those rounds are very strong and at times may not explode but still have the potential to still explode... But I have to say WoW... Great job.....


Thanks for the warning.

I stopped hunting there for that reason.

The fuse timers I have were checked by my brother.

He is a mechanical engineer. Just retired from producing
munitions for the Israilies.

He is a munitions expert.

My fuse timers are spent.(harmless, unless dropped on foot,,lol)

I will just leave the rest in the ground.

Happy Huntin,

Tabdog

Hay Niobium,

I really like that thing too.

Thanks for your response.

I have been trying to identify that thing ever sense I found it.

It was in a dump at, what was a WW I military training camp.

It had some copper tubing soldered to it. That made me think
gas valve at first. But I do not think it is a gas valve.

I came to believe that it is a liquid spigot (beer tap).

Yours is the closest I have come to a positive ID.

Do you know any more about it?

I would love to know,

Tabdog

Sorry, i don?t know that much about it but i know there were beer taps quite common in rucksacks of soliders, since tin cans wasn?t around and glass bottles all to fragile to transport.

Just used a wooden club or such and pounded into place were a wooden plug was hammered into the barrel, sealed it shut until pierced by the tap.

The design looks like "Art deco" so i think its from the time between the wars.

This is just my theory, but it can also be a tap from a russian "samovar".
I would like some closeups of that tap.

You have a very good looking mystery on your hands!

The big problem with it being a beer keg spigot
is that this thing was never intended to be driven
into anything. There is no provision for it to be hit.

There is no flat place for it to be driven and there
is no sign of it being hit or driven into anything.

Here are a few photos,

Thanks fer helpin,

Look at this model, it?s quite similat without the T shaped handle...

Found a little info:

Cask beer tap


Beers brewed and served by traditional methods, typically cask ale, do not use artificial gas. Taps for cask beer are simple on-off valves that are hammered into the end of the cask (see keystone for details). When beer is served directly from the cask ("by gravity"), as at beer festivals and some pubs, it simply flows out of the tap and into the glass. When the cask is stored in the cellar and served from the bar, as in most pubs, the beer line is screwed onto the tap and the beer is pulled through it by a beer engine. The taps used are the same, and in beer-line setups the first pint is often poured from the cask as for "gravity", for tasting, before the line is connected. Cask beer taps can be brass (now discouraged for fear of lead contamination), stainless steel, plastic, and wood.
