High quality treasure today.

This was a stack of leaf springs from a truck, sitting in a mud puddle.

Cut away the bands, hammered the rust and mud off and stored them for blacksmithing later. Should be great material for making blades.

The one I cut an end off took about 10 hammer blows before it broke despite leaving less than 1mm material on the cut

Will be a good while before I get to play with these, but great find.

Done with this side of the fence. Left a pile for the woodchipper. More to do around the corner.

Found more trash and a machine in a bush. Dragged it out with the tractor.

No idea what it was. It appears to have half a tractor mounting and a leg to stand on. The label says 1968. Wife can't guess the missing letters.

There's a springloaded pedal that still moves but most parts are missing and the inside is empty.

Paint still drying so I'm doing some spring cleaning around the farm.

Processed the rotting wood from the old service pit. Salvaged an old but solid oak beam and two pieces of pressure-treated wood from that pile. The rest will make a few nice saunas when dried.

Some cleanup by the fence while it's briefly accessible.

Two young maples got molested by deer, I cut them down as they do not recover from this.

While picking up trash, I found another steel profile under some leaves by the fence. Payment! 😁
