Detecting Home Built 1890

Me and my Dad spent a hour or two hunting the home of one of their neighbors.  The lady was kind enough to give us permission, but said that it had been hunted before.  The yard was dry so I was reluctant to recover any targets, but I did want to see if I could hear any good signals with the metal detector.  The yard was covered with ferrous iron signals, but I did manage to make out a couple good signals.  Once I saw that my Dad was had his metal detector going I decided to dig up the first good signal.  It happened to be under the clothes line, which I had heard was a good place to look.
First signal I check was a 1969 half dollar, not bad for a yard that was not suppose to have any coins.  I dug a couple other coins and a few relics that I could not identify. 
This old motor thermometer gauge says: Boyce THE MOTOR METER CO INC Long Island City, NY.
I thought it was kind of cool.  Not sure what kind of vehicle used this type of gauge, but I think it is old.
