I do a bit of rust hunting now and then. Did more when building up the accumulation of tools in my shop. My younger brother has been making a living out of it for years. He isn't much into tools but knows of my interest in hand planes and a few other things.
During the week, the USPS Informed Delivery indicated a package was coming that made me wonder who was sending me something. Turned out my brother was out hunting for stuff and came across a box of parts from wooden planes and some from metal planes.
Almost everything was in baggies. The threaded hardware was dumped into a tin left over from the days after Valentine's day sale.

The totes & knobs are mostly from wooden bodied planes:

The totes might be used to make coat hooks and the knobs might be handles for my circle and ellipse templates.
