Syosset Then and Now: Mystery Metal

Why was this found in Hurley's Field off Split Rock Road decades ago?

The bustling little Long Island town of Syosset has had many facelifts over the years. Original structures have been remodeled and replaced, leaving just a shadow of the good old days of horse-drawn carriages and general stores.

But if you look closely, sometimes you can see old Syosset hidden among the new constructions. We'll be bringing you back to the old Syosset with the help of A Syosset Scrapbook and helpful photo donors.

Why was this found in Hurley's Field? This piece of metal was found in the field off Split Rock Road by Robin Boslet. But how did it get there? Use the clues scrawled into the metal to figure out what it is and when it got there.

Give us your answer in the comments. Bonus points if you can upload a photo of what it came from or of present day Hurley's Field!

Probably from a Lockheed T-33

Correct on both accounts! A T-33 did crash in Syosset. Does anyone know when?

(Hint: It's scrawled on the metal).

For instance, critical thinking is not about finding fault with people who make noise by using leafRead More blowers, but about an in-depth thinking of goals and values we will achieve by limiting their use. People could earn more quality life and peace of mind by having quiet time in the early morning and the late evening. The value of mental peace is regarded crucial in our life. Critical thinking gives us a process of thinking to get into the depth of the problem. It begins with an analysis of the situation (structure, background, or setting), in which the information of when, where, and who is identified. The information may help set up seasonal differences in restricting hours of leaf blower operation. Further thinking will lead critical thinkers to note the implication of the new ordinance to the business of licensed landscapers. Also, critical thinkers may think about the development of a soundproof leaf blowing machine. Critical thinking helps us to increase and share our common values, rather than tries to find faults with people who make problems.
