You Can Find T Parts in the Darndest Places.
While at my Doctors office, I noticed something familiar on the Wall Art.
   

Are those some of the parts he replaced in patients?

Does he have a T, or does he just antique/junktique, a lot?

That ring gear is waaay nicer than the one that was in mine.

You never know where you might find them.
I had a friend that I go to Hershey with that became a Civil War relic hunter. Every trip up 81 through VA he would stop and hunt along the way. One trip I left him and went on to Hershey, he would be there later that day.
He got it that nite with this story. He was hunting in someone’s corn field when he got a long skinny signal deep. He was excited, is it a sword or maybe a rifle?
Turns out it was. Model T Rear Radius Rod buried about 2 feet deep.

I am an archaeologist be trade and was doing some testing on a 1920s homestead on Joint base Elenforf-Richardson up here in Alaska. One of my techs found the end of a steel rod poking straight up beside a buried log cabin wall. I took one look at the inch or two sticking out of the ground and said “that’s a model T drive shaft,” and it was. Not sure exactly why it was where it was, but I gained big artifact identification points with the crew.
